I'm back --- sorry to have taken so long to get back with this, but I have been down with some sort of killer flu virus allergy infection sore-throat mess for the last several days and just couldn't summon the strength to think straight; although I am far from fully recuperated, I can sort of stagger around now.


Here are the results of my earlier test of W23 while everything was still connected:


B: no mike = 8.60 --- mike keyed = 8.59


C: no mike = 11.42 --- mike keyed = 10.64  (0.78 drop)


E: no mike = 7.96 --- mike keyed = 7.93


and here are the results after I de-soldered and lifted the legs on the driver and final:


B: no mike = 8.61 --- mike keyed = 8.60


C: no mike = 11.56 --- mike keyed = 10.76  (0.80 drop)


E: no mike = 7.99 --- mike keyed = 7.96


Just to be clear, the driver and final are those two flat-backed 3-pronged gizmos that are screw-attached to that multi-angled aluminum "fence" located in the rear corner area; one is a wee bit wider than the other and they look like smaller versions of the W23; do I have this right ?

And, if so, which one is the driver and which is the final ?


Thanks so much !
