in a Dak radios, is the speaker supposed to be a 4 or 8 ohm speaker? Mine sounds really bad. It's a fairly new 4 " speaker but it very high pitch and tiny sounding. I know, I know, use an external speaker right? Well I had rather use the internal speaker for now and want to make it sound better.

Any help would be appreciated.
 

Sounds like the speaker is a cheapie. I would check and see what the impedance is and maybe go for the 8 ohm, but that will not get rid of the tinniness, filtering will.
 
Kikker -

The first thing to do is to plug a known good-sounding speaker into the external speaker jack and see if it sounds tinny too. Sometimes tinny audio is due to a component failure in the audio circuit. If the external speaker sounds good, replace the internal speaker. If not, chase down the defective component. Good luck & 73s.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare

    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
