Re: {Collins} Mic Gain

If it is the same for both in TUNE then it has nothing to do with the
Microphon and it's also a coincidence... both need the Field alignment of
the trimmer caps for each band ... follow the manual exactly, its very
straightforward and you should see a big improvement in the gain needed in
the TUNE position.

Subject: {Collins} Mic Gain

I have a very nice KWM-2A and 32S-3 and both have what seems a bit of a
problem to me.  Both seem to require too much mic gain.  On tune-up the mic
gain is set almost to the stop clockwise on some bands and always past 1:00
on both rigs.  Both are round emblem and in nice real nice shape.  I get
good reports but hey, isn't that too extreme of a setting?  Before I get
into it I thought I would run it by you guys to see if it is a common
problem with a common fix.  Thanks and 73  AB8BW  Tom
