Newbie needs help with FT1000 MP MK5 + MD200 mic settings
 

Recently purchased a used (but in excellent condition) FT-1000 MK 5
with MD-200.

I am having trouble setting up the microphone, and am told my TX audio
is FLAT.

What are the best settings with this mic and radio, ie:-

What menu settings should be changed and to what value?

Where should the PROC knob be turned to, and also the MIC knob?

On the bottom the the mic is a switch, which way should it be set?
Also inside the mic is a rotatable control - again, how should this be
set?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best Wishes...

Take a real RAE.

I am having trouble ...

A Newbie shouldn't have a FT1000MP.......but then again it's like any other
hobby now...go out and buy a load of expensive equipment...get fed up...sell
it and move on to next hobby ...do it all again.....

He may be an old G8 that is new to HF!!!...may not be as well...

Hopefully lots of cheap second hand stuff going to be on Ebay then.
I still want my old TS520 back.
Analogue display, but very clean output and it even ran off 12V so you coul
duse it in the car.

I would second Chaney's suggestion except the I leave 4.4 at 1 to avoid
sounding like a Darlek.

http://www.va3cr.net/ has loads of pages of suggestion for the MP and MkV.
You can mess around with the offsets ad infinitum to adjust your audio.

Turn off the processor and set the mike gain so that voice peaks hit the
marker on the ALC part of the bargraph, then turn the processor back on, set
at 11 o'clock.

I also agree with the general theme of the thread - why are you using an
FT1000MP MkV as a first radio? Seems nuts to me.

Why knock it? That benefits those who buy the equipment they get
fed up with!

What size of car you got then?...I thought an ft101 under the dash of an
Allegro was pushing it in 1976......
