So, is that all 4 mic elements in parallel?? Is this mod a "thing" in CB land? (I ask because I haven't seen this done before). I would have thought that doing this "might" do some funky stuff with audio phasing, and cancellations, etc..
As far as the shape of the sound goes, for two elements, one telecom and one Anytone, the sound would be half and half telecom/Anytone. The characteristics of both. Add more Anytone elements and that is the predominant sound. And vice, versa. With 3 telecom elements, and one Anytone, I can still tell the Anytone is doing something.

It is basically to tailor the sound, the way I am doing it. Others have used it to improve off center sensitivity.
Here is a listing for a 5 element electret conversion for a D104. This was my initial inspiration for putting elements in parallel.

This kit will work on any D-104,(except “K” model mics), however non-amplified mics will require mounting a 9v battery in the base of the mic to power the condenser. The kit requires basic solder skills for installation.www.ebay.com
I cracked the Service Menu. I also performed a hardware NPC mod which works on with factory NPC from carriers below 6 watts. There's still some stuff to work out but I have the radio usable now with great audio. I have some videos on Facebook. I also show the scope. Feel free to flame away, seems that's all I get when I mentioned the nasty old NPC mod.
Absolutely...most sensible response yet. My NPC mods are all set up with a scope with minimum distortion. As with anything you can't get something from nothing so it not perfect but man it's close and it stays between the lines really well!
That's awesome, hopefully there is a way to affect the attack of the modulation limiter clamping too. I keep trying to equate the old analog radio modifications to these new software radios, is that the way you are proceeding? Or is this a whole new way to skin the cat?
I don't do fakebook so won't be about to see your vids. Glad to see you've made some progress!
I don't know about the Ares2 specifically but the other rigs that use this board sound very good with a Turner Plus 3...as a side note I hate Turner 3s most of the time but they are perfect on this chassis!
WILL YOU SHARE THE SERVICE CODE WITH US PLEASE!?
The red wire on the bottom which is part of the npc mod many use. I've not ever used it but I hear it's great when properly set up on a scope.
Oh ok....good luck with your experiments with the Ares2. I have some posts about it and also some videos of Facebook. Feel free to check them out. I am Panic Attack. 73
