Same message with a correction
I'm not currently using my MC60A mic, but when I did, I used the internal
amp because even with the vox gain turned all the way up, there wasn't
enough gain to trigger the vox reliably unless the amp was on. Also, I have
to disagree about RF from the MC60A mic. When the internal amp is on, you
can turn down the mic gain on the rig and thus reduce RF pickup.

Quite so, John. If you listen to the rig with and without the preamp, the
difference is profound. As I said before, I've yet to see a rig on which it
would improve things. and I agree with your statement concerning RF. The
MC60 has enough RF problems as it is without introducing more. Lou
