Last night I got on SSB with someone I know 8 miles away. I kept turning down the 8900's mic gain to a final setting of 8. The RF Power knob was at full power and i was on the stock mic. The other guy was talking on a Lafayette 2400FM. He said that i sounded natural and not forced. I monitored my S/RF meter while i talked. It went 3/4 of full scale. I'm thinking that a mic gain setting of 8-12 would be right. I've yet to find out just how much modulation to set my radio at while talking SSB. I noticed that when I got my 8900 from DTB,the mic gain was set at 8. Hmmmmm?!
