Hi Howard,

Thanks for the nice words.  Nothing special here.  TS-2000 with no outboard
audio gear.  Mic is the Heil Gold Line I got as a free promotion when I 
bought the 2000 in 2001.   I do run the rig's tx bandwidth at 3.0 and have 
the tx eq set to high.  I think my voice is kind of deep, so if the eq is
set anywhere other than high,  I'm too low.

 Was running about 550 watts from a ss amp into  a full size 80 meter dipole
that slopes from 25 to 45 ft. in  height.

73, Steve KW3A
