King Mudduck, when a radio's carrier gets to 1 watt or less yes, the audio can sound crappy. When a radio is properly tuned and adjusted you can get clean loud audio with a 2 watt carrier, it's all in the tune.


With your Davemade 5 pill, a 5 watt carrier is way too much unless you are trying to run your station as a maul station. For every day talking I don't see the purpose of that.
