Agree with all this, trouble is with the proset is your head gets cooked, heavy and hot. The HC5 sounds best. The Yamaha CM500 is much lighter and audio is good. Not that easy to get hold of now 73 La

Useful post Morgan! 73 Laurie G3UML

I find the DNR function little short of magical in its ability to extract almost unreadable signals from the noise and make them copyable. I set it at 14 73 Laurie G3UML

Can’t help thinking Jon that the problem is in the line from your headphones into the 101 Jack. I had a dodgy barrel connecter which did all sorts of strange things. Changed it and the problem disappe

Absolutely Howard. I’m neutral on 50 or 85 — will probably compromise at about 62.5 — but has ANYBODY with a 101 had a true splatter/wide transmission complaint from ANYONE, wherever the AMC is set? L

this isn't what you're looking for Rick, but I've been using AMC 50, Proc 40, mic gain 40 since I bought the radio a year ago. Sounds good in my ears, right levels of ALC and compression, and people s

Yamaha CM500 headset, minor mod needed to power box, and Heil headset with both HC4 and 5 inserts, sounds fine but find it very hot and heavy after a while Good luck"! Laurie G3UML

Quite helpful for someone who’s had the rig for a year as well Laurie G3UML

Just got the ZL3DW book (from RSGB here in the UK). It’s really excellent, written in clear plain English, deconstructs some of the lack of clarity and confusion in the (generally quite well written)

OPERATION SETTING — TX AUDIO — PROC LEVEL — TWO BUTTONS OFFERED, ONE COMP, THE OTHER AMC. I HAVE COMP ACTIVATED, NOT AMC. ??? Laurie G3UML (also VK2UML!)

What (if any) difference does it make to the performance of the transceiver ? 73 Laurie G3UML

Absolutely agree. In all the dozens of emails about this update, I have not seen a single benefit. I have seen multiple problems and irritations, from a rough Audio gain onwards. Specifically, unambig

GM6DX! I use his cable from my 101D to my 1.5K. Perfect Laurie G3UML

I’m sweating just reading that Chris! Well done! 73 Laurie G3UML

All very sensible Barry, unlike some of the stuff on here recently. But do try VCT and the noise reduction gadgets. They really work, and you won’t break the radio by playing with them! 73 Laurie G3UM

But they are listed and on offer on UK Amazon Fred — about £75 all up. 11 still available! One warning - there’s talk some more recent versions sound less good than they used to. I have an older pair

I must be either very tolerant or a bit dozy. Been using the 101D for six months and none of these 19 requirements has bothered me in the slightest. Number 2, the CW ZIN doesn’t seem to do anything bu

I agree. The NB is highly effectively against local electrical pulsed noise. The DNR is brilliant at extracting signals from atmospheric and other noise, even better together with the VCT. I worked we

Hi all, just think I've started to get a tune out of the 101D VCT. Never quite got to grips with it before, but a combination of it and the DNR is pretty cool. Was just listening to VK2BY on 20 SSB, t

My thought exactly. Do you mean 2.1khz? Even that would be pretty narrow. Never heard of a 1.2 kHz SSB filter 73 Laurie G3UML
