Hey there,
My father has taken a second mic up with him and will be
trying it out today, I am just waiting a little longer to call him
because he will still be in the woods right now,clocks just went back
yesterday so the days are even shorter now. I told him to try
high/low sensativity<--mispelled, i also told him about the contact
cleaner , actually i read every post to him over the phone and told=20
him to try all the different things, only thing that I added, was
that I told him each time he was going to try something diffent, to
put a tarck mark on it and say that he is (changing mic, trying
different earphones,Etcc..) then tarck it each time to see where the
difference is if there is one. I am going to read him theses latest
posts when I call Him in an hour, Tnks for the replies guys, keeps
giving more light at the end of the tunnel :)
Shaun.
PS: I am going to been known for these PS'S hehe, Yes ZDough it is a
used MD, its all used up..lol, well we will find out something
hopefully in a little bit, just hoping that it isn't the board. Think
I'll bring my precision drivers and such up with me.
