                face="Tahoma" size="3" color="black"><span
                  style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:black">I
                  find that voice levels are highly dependent on the
                  person speaking, the rig
                  they are using, the node radio,  and probably a dozen
                  other factors.
                  Generally setting the audio so you see peaks just
                  above 5 khz should be OK.
                  Some radios have better limiting than othesr and the
                  peaks are well defined. On
                  some you can see peaks go well above what you would
                  call max but the average is
                  much lower. One thing you don't want to do is have it
                  set too high. Digital
                  distortion is very annoying. I often use iaxrpt's
                  level meter for adjusting or
                  looking at multiple users for comparison. If you are
                  filling the iaxrpt bar graph
                  to 9o-95% without hitting the edge you are good.<br>
                  <br>
                  I often find that one node that shows 80% peaks
                  actually sounds louder than one
                  that shows 95% peaks. Audio characteristics and
                  equalization can play games
                  with your ears! I don't think setting using DTMF is
                  always a good idea because
                  DTMF levels can be quite different than voice through
                  the microphone. <br>
                  <br>
                  Some radios like the Chinese variety handhelds have
                  greatly varying audio
                  levels depending on how far you are from the mic. You
                  almost have to eat the mic
                  on some of them to have a decent level of audio and
                  then you have breath noise.<br>
                  <br>
                  If you use a wide range of radios that you use to talk
                  to your node it is best
                  to check them all. You may have to come up with an
                  average setting so that the
                  loudest radio does not distort. <br>
                  <br>
                  Talk into the radios the way you would when you are
                  not thinking. If you adjust
                  it talking right into the mic and then when you aren't
                  thinking you usually
                  talk 2 inches away the level is not going to be right.<br>
                  <br>
                  In the future we hope to have audio processing
                  capability added to the code to
                  help fix some of these problems. <br id="FontBreak">
