Hi Phil,

Sounds like you have solved the problem however for next time I can 
recommend the open tracker USB.  It has done a stellar job on HF with 
the only tuning required was the mike gain and the on board ALC.

I have heard from a friend who has both that he prefers the TT, however 
the open tracker does the job and is cheaper.

Mine is currently set up for Mic-E on one profile and HF on the other.

Cheers
