First thing you need to do is open up the radio and turn up the modulation pot...Once you have it peaked, then set the Mic gain to peak (full on the bar graph) and then back it off 3-bars...Then you can set your Mic gain on the...

    Old Turner mic for a new mobile

    I've got a couple I restored, and replaced the elements with that one I posted the link to on ebay...When I first got them, they looked like junk, the chrome was all pitted and the base was scratched up, and they had a tinny sound... I need to re-do the mic plug wiring again on the John Deere...

    Old Turner mic for a new mobile

    D 104's should sound good even on the newer rigs...I have one hooked up to a RCI 2980wx that sounds great! Not sure how old your D 104 is, but like I was saying in my other post, the elements can go bad on older mics...Could be you need to upgrade your element inside the head of that D 104...

    Old Turner mic for a new mobile

    Can't go wrong with a Turner +3 base Mic..That's what I use on my Cobra 2000... The older Turner hand Mic's are hit and miss at best...All of them are over 30 years old by now, and some closer to 45-50 years old... I've had, and still have, a bunch of the M+2U's, Roadking 70's, 76, 60's, and...

    Too much DK for DEI's....need to keep the carrier @ 100w or less...150w a bit high...I've got a XForce 1x4 base amp with DEI's and no problems even after 3 years...but, I keep the carrier at 100w and let it swing from there.

    Mobile mounted, trunk seal leaks now?

    Years ago (I'm talking mid 70's) Trunk lip mounts were very popular...What you had to do was run the coax behind the weather stripping next to the channel where the rain would run down....Sometimes you could pull the weather stripping up enough to stick the coax sorta under it...then maybe use...

    5/8 Wave groundplane 1.5:1 SWR all over the band

    could have water in the coax or the connector...Might be fine after it dries out... SWR gets a little higher on my antenna when it's raining

    Base station antenna -- ground plane addon kit

    pointed up would put them right next to the antenna itself....think you're going to have SWR issues... Be like these guys who mount their antenna right behind the cab of their pick-ups on the bed rail, then wonder why they can't get the antenna to tune.

    Hopper 12 pill

    Mobile? ...go for it... Base? I don't see the need for something that big... It's not like your going to be doing shoot-outs with a base... "IMO" something in the 500-1000w range is all you need for a base, then go wild on the antenna set-up if you want...
