Yaesu: yaesu ft 2980 question?

[robertwbob]

i got this radio 2 years ago new in the box.
its got 1 problem.no matter where you set power and mic everybody says it sounds like im screaming at them. i tried diffrent mics a genuine yaesu and 2 chinesium . the chineseiums were better than oem but still has that screaming output. its dead on frequency .dont matter if on repeater or simplex.
and it also must not have much for filters as it intermods bad. for instance if im on 146.475 and somebody is on 146.460 and weak it drags them in on 146.475.
this george foreman grill has rode its way back to yaesu for a 2 month siesta to hear radio is fine.
hope i can get simple answers and suggestions not complicate matters thank you

mic and mic gain are two different things, mic is hardware, so you tried looks like three different mikes. Mike gain is a setting in the software of the radio. Not familiar with that radio mode but most newish models have a software/code adjustment to louden or soften the sound picked up by the mic. This sounds like what your problem may be.
