First .. I thanks to the many of you for your 
comments. This really is a great reflector. It 
became clear early on, that I am not alone in my 
frustrations with the Ten Tec/Heil combo.

I don't blame Heil and I don't blame TenTec. 
Clearly not all mics and all rigs can be expected 
to work well together. It's not a perfect world!

Based on the recommendations of another, I had an 
extended telephone conversation this afternoon with 
Julius, W2IHY, regarding one of his dual band audio 
equalizers/noise gates. It would be a somewhat 
pricy alternative ($130), but it would provide more 
then adequate input to the Jupiter and also provide 
some audio "tailoring" tools. As I just told 
someone else, I have never been one of the guys 
that spend a lot of time tinkering with the "highs 
and the lows".. but it might be interesting to play 
with. (It's a hobby .. right?)

So.. is if there anyone out there now using the 
Heil/W2IHY Equalizer/TenTec combo...? I would be 
interested in your comments.

I have been heading down the path of selling my 
Heil and replacing it with a 705. That is clearly 
the least expensive option.. just not sure it is 
the right one. Maybe it is... since I am not a 
"audio" guy.. beyond what is considered acceptable 
quality

Hopefully I am not taking up too much band width 
for this issue..My apologies if that might be the 
case.

Bill, W6WLB
