Not So Secret Vice

I had a modified mic on my big radio, aside from various power/echo/noise making ones. I had a Heil element put in the stock 2950 mic. Fantastic for sideband work.

I preferred a power mic on long drives. I'd crank it up and just leave it in my lap and talk.

Nevermind all that road and background noise, Right ?

The music was always loud enough to drown out the road noise... Never cared what the listener thought. 😝

I see, So you didn't care about the Quality of the audio you transmitted, or that maybe no one could understand you ?

I had perfect audio anytime I  wanted it.

When it wasn't perfect, it's because I wanted someone to complain about it... so that I could let them hear it some more, just louder.😁

Sarcasm, I hope lol. Now I realize why I became a Amateur Radio Op and ditched 11 meters, altogether.

But here they are, still pining away for another CB.

CB was fun in old days because of 40-channels. 25-30 of them kinda rambunctious some nights.

For some reason there was (and is) a whole subculture lives along major American rivers still living the CB high life. Have heard it in Texas, Kentucky and Florida.

The Venn Diagram appears to intersect with wives who’ve poisoned their husbands with perfect murder “Fentanyl Overdose” to judge by what’s to be heard.

No thanks, I’ll stick with the common maroons on 19.

There’s fun reasons to play with a sound effects power mic. But not in some places, and not after dark.

Rooster gives it a go and our end of the audio is enhanced by his test set-up.

The DXE-656 at about 1300 (a touch more than 1200, but less than at 1500) is how I’d run it and sounds VG. Why mine is married to my G959. Holding and using it is far above average.

The SR76 is the one I want to try with QT60.

Recommended video given the mic choices.

PRESIDENT radios stay with their choices and with AT it’ll be hard to improve audio.

Still, men & their radio rigs are a pairing where mic experimentation can pay off.
