    Steve:

Thanks for the "narrow FM" info.  I do think John is right, in that this
only refers to "receive".

As for the mic, I guess the only thing I can do is try another one like it
and see if it makes a difference.

Will check into that;  I think some folks in our club have the same mic, so
we can try that.

Thanks again, and best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
