Re: Hoping for help with an FT-897 (very similar)
I'm actually surprised you got good audio reports at 50-75 before with the MH-59. Everyone I ever seen needed the gain turned down. Leonard K. Pennock AD7AS Those who walk bravely through life,

Re: Hoping for help with an FT-897 (very similar)
I'm using the MH-59 mic, I'll take a look at that as well. Is is maybe just coincidence that all of this happened after I performed a master reset on the radio?
