I set MIC GAIN to Low in the Menu, then I followed the  instructions
in the Manual for setting Mic Gain and COMP.  I was just giving the number to indicate my settings I am using.  I can set the MIC by the instructions but if I set the CMP by the instructions I have distortion.
I know a lot of people use the Kenwood MC-43S but maybe it is not the best choice.  By talking on the air I had to set CMP to 3 to have good audio. 3 does not even give me an indication on the CMP meter scale.
