IC-7300 Broadcast Audio Settings.

Press open the Function page (next to the Menu below your screen)

Look at the top Center or Bottom of the page to make sure the COMP = ON

This must be turned on for your Compression to work. To the right make sure the TBW (bandwidth) is set to WIDE. These are the factory defaults.

Open the Multi Knob. Your Mic should be set to 50%. (use 95% if your using a dynamic microphone) The Comp should be set to 5%. These are the factory settings. Use 6% for DX or bad band conditions.

Next open the Tone Page. Press these names in sequence.

The first is below the screen the rest is on the screen. If you don't see TONE, press the arrows in the lower left of the screen which moves the readout up and down.

MENU, SET, TONE, TX, SSB

This is your Tone Page where you set your Bass, Treble to match your microphone.

Standard hand mike. Bass +2 Treble +3

Any SM mic like the SM-30. Bass 0 Treble +4 (includes Heil 781 and PR40 microphones)

HEIL ICM mikes or Elite Headphones. Bass -1 Treble +4

Std Hand Mic speak 3 fingers away at a 45 degree angle for best audio.

Desk and Boom mikes speak 4 fingers away directly into the microphone.

Headphones - set the mike element just to the left of your mouth 3 fingers away for your best audio.

If any settings refuse to work, doing an All-Reset should fix the problem.

If your using FT8 use a Partial Reset. The All Reset is best but will remove any FT8 Settings.

See page 14-4 in your 7300 manual.

I have tried many mics on this rig and have found that the Heil PR-781 is best suited.

SSB bass +3

SSB treble +5

Compression ON wide 3

Running the compression at 3 gives the audio a well rounded response and is not too much, be sure to keep the mic gain set so that the ALC is at the lower to mid range on the meter, don't go any higher that half scale as it will begin to overdrive.

Heil ICM mics or Elite headsets = bass -1 treble +4

Using the standard hand mic speak 3 fingers width away at a 45 degree angle so that you are speaking accross the mic for the best audio.

Desk and boom mikes speak 3-4 fingers width away and speak directly into the mic for best audio.

Headsets set the mic element 3 fingers width away and to the side of your mouth to prevent any "puffs" for best audio.

If any of these settings refuse to work properly, doing an "all reset" should fix the issue and take you back to factory standards.

If you are using FT8, use the Partiao Rest...the ALL Reset is best, but will remove any FT8 or memory frequency settings.

This will give you as close to a flat response as you'll get without external equalization.

ANOTHER GOOD TS-990 SETUP

Run the bandwidth at 10/3500 for normal ragchew OR 10/3000 can be used.

This setup is using the Heil PR-40, W2IHY EQPlus & 8 band Equalizer

The TS-990 equalizer is flat/off

8 band equalizer as follows:

50hz +4

100hz +3

200-1600hz 0

2400hz +3

3200hz +8

EQPlus as follows:

Mic Imp 600 ohms w/PR-40

Bass is 11 o'clock

Treble is 1 o'clock

Comp is 9 o'clock

DE Level is 7.5 o'clock

Output is 5 [almost max to accommocate iplus requirements] W2IHY recommends this, otherwise 12 o'clock without iplus

Gain is 12 o'clock

Delay is 9 o'clock

Level is 7.5 o'clock

Mon Level is 7 o'clock

The above is using the W2IHY 3x4 switch plus and the IPlus so that you can easily switch the mic/audio to any transceiver and any transceiver to any linear...

If you are using the new firmware update:

Go to menu 085 (SSB TX BPF)

Where you used to find 3000WB, you will now find TTBF (4 kHz bandwidth ESSB mode) .

Push "MENU" button in and listen for beep to save the settings.

The FT-2000/FT2000D is now in the 50 Hz to 4 KHz transmit bandwidth.

To receive 4 kHz, put the "WIDTH" knob fully clockwise; You will see all of the LED's lit. Put the SHIFT knob in the center. You will see these changes on your DMU.

Yaesu FTDX-5000

There is a secret "Power On" function built into the FTDX-5000 that allows the rig to transmit from 50Hz to 4kHz. It is called TTBF which stands for Total Transmit Bandwidth Frequency. Once enabled, it will extend your transmit bandwidth right out to 4kHz. You may need to re-EQ your mic to tailor it to this new bandwidth.

To enable TTBF, turn the radio ON while holding in DNF on the CENTER VFO-A and DNR on the FAR RIGHT VFO-B.

Note: The DNF and DNR are right next to each other in between these 2 Sub VFO's. Once done, push the MENU button and turn the CENTER Sub VFO-A to MENU 104 A3J. Next, turn the FAR RIGHT Sub VFO-B fully clockwise and TTBF will appear. If you did this Power On mod correctly, should see TTBF instead of 3000WB. If you still see 3000WB, that means your little Power ON "mod" is not done right. Ya gotta do it again.

Pprogram your CS button to take you directly to this menu so that if I need to change the TX bandwidth on a fly, I just hit the CS button and it'll prompt me right to it and change the BW quickly. This is one of the neatest feature of this rig since sliced bread :)

Note: The WIDTH control on the rig is the receiver's bandwith adjustment. For hi-fidelity audio reception, turn this knob fully clockwise. This is the one and only knob out of the whole rig that is turned "All The Way To The Right!" :) You'll see that the display will show WIDTH 4.00kHz and the receiver will open up nicely.

Menu settings as follows:

104 = ttbf or 50-3000

152 = 200

153 = -15

154 = 2

155 = 700

156 = -15

157 = 2

158 = 2900

159 = 10

160 = 1

Turn MIC EQ on and NO PROC on, I am running the mic gain at 42. This is a good starting point for either the PR-40 or RE-27. Some will find that the PR-40 may have a little too much bottom end...I prefer the PR-40.

1) Turn off the 9000 via front panel switch.

2) Hold the "AFL" and "ACM" buttons in while turning the power on.

3) Under menu "No. 070", the TTBF should now be ON. You're done!

4) To reverse the process, just repeat the process.

If you have a 6 kHz filter installed,

you can use WIDTH to select a wider passband.

In CONFIG:TX eSSB, change the parameter

from OFF to one of the provided selections

(3.5, 4.0, etc.).

With eSSB enabled, the transmit EQ menu entry name changes to MAIN:TX*EQ to allow you to independently adjust EQ at the selected wider bandwidth. The amount of adjustment required at each EQ band may vary depending on the selected eSSB transmit bandwidth. (See manual pg 36)
