Just take your time setting it up Sonar. And if you have any local pals that don't pull your leg or just have no clue what good audio is, it's not a bad idea to use one of them for a reference as to how you sound. Both a close and one that is as far as possible, and not DX, would work well. Or another receiver radio with a good set of speakers. Justsome food for thought. Did you happen to ask the guy you spoke with on his kenwood how he hadit setup. It may or may not work for you as it depends a lot on how you sound naturally speaking. As in do you have a high or low pitched voice and is it loud or soft. Anyways, like I told Undertaker, as well as many others did, read the manual and use it as a guiding tool to setup your radio from the beginning. I would also suggest writing down how to setup the radio for both AM and SSB use and how it sounds both locally and out a little ways. I write down everything I do these days and that way if something gets way knocked out of place I can return it to the correct place without having to fool around. Maybe I am just OCD. But it took some time to get my radio setup the way I have it and I get a lot of compliments on it. But like I said, I've spent a lot of time setting it up. Have fun with the new radio. Kenwood makes some good radios. I own both an Icom and kenwood, so I am not biased toward one or the other, if I had a newer kenwood I would most likely use it more. Mine is my backup radio and doesn't get used a whole lot. Again, enjoy the radio, and remember to read the manual and listen to what these gents above me have posted as they know about 100 times more than I do about these radios!!
73 and God Bless.
