Since I've had some speech processors on most of my HF rigs over the years, I thought I'd add one to my HS4 rig as well. But, I'm not sure what to use for the initial settings.

I'm trying to keep the two LED's in the green and ALC within range. But, it would be so nice to be able to actually hear what I sound like. Any advice? Thanks and 73, Rick, KQ4Y (https://www.kq4y.com/)

Hi Rick again,

I would advice to keep the ALC always in the first part of the green area, with or without any processor. That means a value around 1.5 or 2.
It's absolutely enough for a clear voice and you are "save".

To hear and check the own voice: That's only possible at HamSphere 3.x on the Check-Frequency, but not with HS 4 (like a real HF radio).
The only way is to make some QSOs with orther operators on diffferent bands and ask for the quality. If you have a "technic affinely" Guy, he can tell you a little bit more about the quality than only "sounds good".
Things like "Reverb", "Robot-Voice", "Echo" and something like that.

Thanks for the reply Jörg. I want to have strong but clear audio. What I hear on my RF rig with the EQplus by W1IHY is that my audio sounds good and that is what I want to hear on HS4 as well - 73, Rick, KQ4Y

Maybe I have an idea: There is a plugin in the shop, which can record your voice for any phrases (like "CQ, CQ...." and so on).
I don't have it in my rig, but perhaps the playback of records can give a little feedback about your voice.

Interesting idea, I will check it out - thanks!
