If you look to the left of the screen under "tools" you will see modification list. Click on it and find your radio. It will tell which VR is modulation or perhaps a limiter to clip.
I do agree with Bruce. Please try a power mic on the 2950 first. The audio of so many 2950's has been ruined by making internal adjustments or by clipping and modifications done by the novice.
