<DIV>I use any of the Heil headsets, as well as Heil Goldline GM-4. I use this
as my</DIV>
<DIV>main HF rig and have been using Penelope since it was first released. There
are many</DIV>
<DIV>ways to implement PTT: depending on type of microphone, you can use the
tip</DIV>
<DIV>or ring of the mic plug on Penelope, (or Janus if you have one), Pin #1 of
the DB-25</DIV>
<DIV>on Penelope, or Pin #8 (Pin #5 common) on the DB-9 on Ozy or Magister. I
chose</DIV>
<DIV>to use the DB-9 Pin #8 as it works as PTT in CW too. I also have the PTT
buttons </DIV>
<DIV>on my microphones activate the PTT on the mic plug on Peny. I use a hand
switch and</DIV>
<DIV>foot switch in parallel to the DB-9.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are many variables on mic settings depending on your voice, I choose
to reduce</DIV>
<DIV>the mic boost in initozy11.bat by 20 db (just edit this file, the notes are
there), I do NOT</DIV>
<DIV>use Leveler in PowerSDR>DSP>AGC/ALC, and I monitor Mic on the TX
Meter and keep it </DIV>
<DIV>below 0 db. Your mileage may vary! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good Luck & 73 </DIV>

All,<BR><BR>I'm getting ready to install Penelope in my Atlas bus, as I've
just built up<BR>an HF Projects digitally-controllable LPF ($69 + postage for
the kit), and<BR>will be using Pennywhistle.<BR><BR>So with that comes the
question: what microphones are people using for SSB<BR>with their
Penelope? What are you using for a PTT switch?<BR><BR>I'd like to learn
what your experiences are, before I get that far.<BR><BR>Vy 73,<BR>George
