Stryker 955 echo question.

[RC4]

So I dunno if this has already been discussed I didn’t really look but I’ve had my 955 for about 3 years now or so and I’ve always kept my echo the same. Inner knob at around 3 and my outer around 3 1/3 and my echo has always been perfect. I’ve noticed the last few weeks that no one hears my echo anymore so now I have the outer knob at max and people still say there’s no echo. I can hear a little from my talk back but it’s not getting over the air. Could something be going bad in my radio?
Thanks

Echo is adjusted correctly when barely noticeable. It’s not really an aid to intelligibility.

A nice upgrade (better mic = better outcome):

SR-65BC CB Microphone Noise Canceling

The new & improved Stryker SR-65BC microphone provides the maximum clarity even when used in noisy environment.We crafted the Stryker SR-65BC microphone after Military and EMS microphone. Not only does this mean the Stryker SR-65BC is light weight and easy to use, but this time it’s also...

In your last thread were questions asked and advice given. The best path in TX/RX is clarity.
Have you followed thru?

Echo works against clarity, it’s an attention-getter in the best of circumstances. Not that I don’t use it on older radios, it’s that it’s Utility is quite limited.

Your radio “may” have a malfunction, so I’d get out manual and review settings. Move switches or dials carefully to feel for glitches.

A VERY clean signal is what really works. Gets attention without distortion. Great “quiet” around one’s voice.

I’ll get responses on the road where the older design radio operators don’t despite echo & extra power.

I forgot to mention it does it on the stock and my d104 mb6. So it must be something in the radio I guess.

Feel for switch position. On/Off

Ever spilled a little coffee on it?

No never and yes I’ve tried the on/off switch. I’ll watch the video thank you!

My last thread was a little different don’t you think? Anyway, I watched the video and I understand how the echo works lol that’s not the problem. It’s just not working anymore….

Overall performance is reason for reference to previous thread. Stay at it.

Was hoping something simple might help. If it’s not a switch contact cleanliness problem, then . . . .

This is not an unsurmountable problem. Just take all the furniture out of your radio room.

Only operate from a tiled shower.

How to Set Echo a primer for others (and to remind us to go thru all steps when problem arises).

That is easy:
1) Turn off echo.
2) Ensure it remains off.
3) Note how much better your signal sounds without echo.
4) Always remember step 1.
