NQ5T:
I thought that issue had been cleared up.

        Sorry, away over Thanksgiving here.  Yes
it has been cleared up and was completely my
error since I had virtually not used Orion on
SSB before the CQ WW SSB!  Here are settings
and their source:

Heil MIC SP TX BW Rolloff Source

HC-4            61      3-4     2700            150             W4PA
HC-5            35      3       2550            150             W6UB/W4NL

I was using MIC and SP both at ~8 and got one bad
unsolicited report.  I then asked W0CP (a real audio
expert) and he confirmed I had a problem.  Interestingly
enough, my audio was still "good enough" to work more
DX stations on 10 than any other USA including multi-multis!

        I'm currently using the HC-4 at settings close to what
W4PA recommended above and get good communications quality
audio reports.

73, Bill W4ZV
