New 1.50 software

I just loaded the newest 1.50 software and set the mic gain as per
directions at tickling 5 bars. So far, so good. I had the monitor
function on and listened on headphones. When I added compression, the
sound lost bass and sounded very echoey / hollow. Yet, when I had a
QSO to a friend 3 miles away, he said he did not hear the echo type
sound and that I was 6 db stronger. So I left the compression at level
5. How come such a difference between on the air sound and monitor
sound? When i did the same thing with my FT 950, the compression was
not echoey/ hollow. Is everything working okay? 73 Mike KF6KXG
