D-104 Death

Mark,
Not a bit lame, my fault for talking in shortcuts.
QTH= 10-20= your location.

My question was if you might have an open-to-the-public Software Defined Radio receiver near you that you can access with a computer. If you have one close enough you can listen to/record and playback your own transmissions. Comes in pretty handy, much better than trying to set mic gain, etc. with a talkback that's not a true representation of what you're actually transmitting. You can also tune in and listen to a large chunk of the RF spectrum. Google search KiwiSDR for a map of worldwide available receivers. WebSDR is another source. Probably more out there that I'm unaware of.

Your modified D104 might be working better than you can tell. I've had several very good reports on my audio from operators listening with serious big $ transceivers.

I have 3 radios set up. It was so damn hard to hear any quality when I talk in one and try t0 listen to the other. Ah Ha headphones! Brilliant. Thanks Bud. Now on the other post
Believe or not I dont know what a SDR or QTH mean. I've seen these before acronyms
can elude me. I do apologize for being lame.:)

Yeah, that Shadetree headphone tip works pretty well. Mobile in the Pete, I can get a pretty good rough-in (as that’s about as good as it’ll get).
