So the flatter response, this would be where the EQ comes in allowing you to set your profile? Giving you (basically) infinite tuning adjustments compared to a power mic which just has the preamp dial? If I’m using the wrong terms feel free to set me straight! This has really got me intrigued...

I’m learning! what are the rest of the boxes in chain? What is the purpose of the two identical boxes (that I do not know the name of? And now that I’m down this rabbit hole: With this iBox, does it make getting the very best microphone Ivan worth it or is there a “cut off” where there are...

How does the PTT activate? I’m simple minded when it comes to electronics, is this basically an really cool power mic? If we were to say, put a D104 at the input, what would it look like down the chain to the radio? Overkill?

So I’m not sleeping too well tonight and a question just came to me: I see lots of really nice audio microphones (like for performers for way less than they cost new. Is there any reason one could not wire up one of these for transmitting on a radio? jigger up a PTT and catch as catch can...

In my city growing up we could talk with a local cop any time on channel 21 - most weekend we'd yap with him and sometimes stop to visit wherever he was posted up. Of course, he knew we street raced down in the valley but never bugged us as long as we were out in the rural areas.

I have one of those!

This is my buddy whom I sold the car to, but boy, she was great. I miss this car.

Back in about 1995 I had a 148GTL in my 1962 Biscayne 2-Door Post. I was waiting for my girlfriend in front of her house (she was getting off work) and around 2AM I heard about the weakest signal possible... the dude was stuck up on some mountain and I took the details down and called in the...

Liberal run is saving lives. I'm lucky to be here during this time.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but: The 146 is just a bit before my time - what is the main difference between a 148 or 142? I see it doesn't have a SWR meter built in but is the board different?

I've had my Sirio 5000 with a 980SSB and AT6666 and get RAVE reviews and I've been all over the Pacific Northwest mobile. It is quiet on receive and matches really nice to everything I've hooked up to it. I'd buy again, and if I were mounting a permanent rather than mag mount I'd totally get...

Where did you find that one, if I may ask? I saw one for sale recently but can't remember where. Great find!

Looking to buy an antenna tuner and HF transceiver. My daughter is studying for her general and super excited. We're on a budget - don't need fancy, just solid!

Did this go down the river?

I have 100' of RG58 that will be quite suitable! Thanks for the idea - I think this may actually give us some range rather than a vertical mounted as high as I can based on what little height I can get off the ground!

Is this just any old cable you used (cable TV or RG?)

Ok, my 9-year old is really getting bitten by the radio bug and we only have a mobile right now. It is a great mobile but I think it is time to have a rig in the apartment. I've made them work before, with a vice grip on a metal railing and a 108" SS whip. I'm on the bottom floor currently...

Can we just call it "close enough" to call it a 1/3-wave? (n)

Just got back from a roadtrip from Seattle to Coeur d'Alene and found some sidebanders who were very impressed with a 6666 + Sirio 5000 magmount. Great/quiet receive and was working 35 miles away while driving 60MPH! You're going to be pleased with that Sirio.

I'm breaking my girlfriend in gently, just showed her a my 75 amp power supply .. hopefully by next weekend I'll have a radio up in the new place... heh heh
