Don't take the foam off. It serves as a filter to reduce the effect of
popped P's and huffed H's. Plus it protects the element from moisture
accumulation due to condensation from the warm moist laden breath.
No problem with RF here on either the desk mike or the hand mike. I do used
a carefully balanced feed for the antennas. All baluns are 1:1 current
types.

Reed,
My Argo V, also v1.08, must have a little more audio gain than yours, or
else
I just talk louder, so the numbers are a little different, but I also
notice
that the 706 desk mike has lower output than the hand mike. With the hand
mike, my audio gain is normally set around 10 o'clock, and with the desk
mike
it's around 2 o'clock. I haven't tried taking the foam off.
Another problem I noticed is that the desk mike is more susceptible to
picking up RF in the shack than the hand mike. Anyone else notice that?

Ray W2RS
