I need you guys in my area to explain it better to a few locals around here, we've tried, lol...

This past weekend (Friday night) we had one of those "Fear the mic gain" guys on channel 40. He sounded muffled, yelling in the mic, yuk.... I got tired of hearing everyone else telling him to turn it down, but he always came up with an excuse or something else to try, OTHER THAN TURNING IT DOWN like we were telling him. I finally told him not to be scared of touching that mic gain knob and that it's not gonna bite him. Then I cranked my mic gain and mic wide open and started talking to him his way, hahaha, turned it around on him and then he got the picture, until 2 days later, lol.... Balls to the wall...

And yes, that watt meter nonsense drives me nuts, it's just an observation tool. People complain cause they can't see the 50w as advertised, when it's normally advertised in PEP watts, not peak watts like most operators use.

I'm glad most around here have learned and still listen, but then there's the hardheads.
