Awesome. Maybe it's my mic. No matter where the gain is set. When I key up I hear a scratching sound in my external speaker. Hopefully the RK56 does well. Are you not liking the S45-HP? It took me awhile to get it how I want it. With my mic gain at 12 o'clock, rf power at 12 o'clock and me being a trucker....... Echo volume at 12 o'clock and echo delay at 1 to 1.5 on the dial that radio rocks. I have no problem talking 15-20 miles on 27.185 am with lots of traffic on the channel in the Dallas area. To another driver with a big connex.

CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

I noticed a little feedback sort of issue with mine as well. It disappears when I hold the mic about 3" from my mouth.
I mentioned this in my email with Univercom in addition to the CW break-in issue I am having. They are on break until after the New Year. It's almost like the talk back circuit is still active, but it's turned off in the menu. I notice it while hooked to a dummy load as well.
I like my S45 very much. I just like the CRE better and want another one.

That's exactly what my CRE is doing. Still talkback even when talkback says off. If you find an answer please share with me. I may have the RK56 on it tonight. If that helps I will let you know. I really feel like its coming from that mic. I just can't want to like that little cheapy feeling mic. Lol
I just ordered my Yeticom Optima MKIII, with cranked up amc to optimal. It should be here Jan9th approx. I have to convert my Turner Plus Three to the eight pin Icom layout.
It seems I'll have to live with the hump floor mount as all other options have too many limitations.
Tucker 442, now that you have the Midland and the Optima how are they side by side?

Hey Dave they make a 8 pin to 4 pin adapter just look for an Icom 8 pin adapter, I did that with my Optima and used a Turner mic also
Cbradiomagazine's advice was that it sounded pretty descent at 31 volume level but if you want loud,get a noise canceling mic.
Tucker 442, Third time lucky, you have both the Midland and the Yeticom Optima, which do you like the best and why? Thanks,
I checked my mic and it was used for a Uniden 2510 and is a Five Pin. I need to convert it to an Icom Eight Pin for my new Yeticom optima. Has any one found and adapter or must it be hand wired?
I would just wire it up. Those adapters are for temporary use as far as I am concerned. They also put undue stress on the mic jack. The MKII's have a weaker jack that was strengthened on the latest version, I believe.
Plus, they look corny. Some are even wired wrong from the factory. If you have a radio with voltage on input, you could see smoke if not carefull.
