The gain is touchy and takes some time to tailor just right. It's a chore trying to hold the mic disassembled, keying it while talking, watching, listening and turning that tiny potentiometer... patience, lots of patience!Big Audio Galaxy + SL41, okay. Thx

Am disappointed this mic squeals with my Galaxy 99v2. Seemed fine with the U980.
Turned it down internally all the way (counterclockwise), and turned Mic Gain pretty much Off. (Power turned down max amount, no Echo, etc).
Original SL41 mic from original release, no mods. Only difference I see from others is in pic HA linked from Eldo: Batt Neg on mine is two-pins close together versus the single pin shown in pic. (Green Arrow).
No deal. Just squeal.
Luckily, the Astatic 636L and a nice old RK56 both sound good (the U980 into an external speaker sitting back in the bunk). Can’t tell much difference if any.
So, have tested four (4) mics into the current big truck mobile rig. Down to two. (RK56 now the spare). The Galaxy mic stays home after this trip.
The A636 is the one originally-paired to this radio back in ‘14.
The PALOMAR SL41 needs some help.

Unless the newer ones have that option mine don't have it.I think the AT-6666 has a menu function to turn off that mic pwr function and make it dynamic.
So then that makes me wonder if mine with the mod deleted back to stock would pair well with the at-6666? I know the way mine from Bob's leaves much to be desired on the anytone.
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 |
