Hey guys, I thought I read on hear before how to set a spare radio up in the mobile the see how you really sound over the air? I know the monitor radio won’t have an antenna but how close is the sound to reality? My trusted ears aren’t always on and the drivers on 19 don’t know what good sounds like
 

I've been using local SDR stations quite a bit. In listening to myself and other stations they seem to give a pretty realistic idea of how you sound on the air.

A spare radio works but I prefer to hear a receiving station some distance away as it sounds quite different than a radio sitting 2 feet away.

Before SDR I used to do a lot of video recording on the base while I drove around or I'd set up a live stream and listen to myself on the phone.

Thank you . If I set up a spare radio antenna in the car how far out do you ride around to get an idea . Around town ? Miles away?

I am fortunate to have a KiwiSDR about a half a mile from me as the RF flies. Best talkback going.........

You been entertaining friends & family with a good ol’ boy accent gotten from working the ray-dee-oh?

Placing the drive-thru Starbucks family order is never more fun, . . comin’ back atcha!

Good rookie practice against the day you make it to Tennessee to place your Exit 87 BBQ order of a fried bologna luncheon from sixteen-miles out. (Those girls are a hoot).

And someday, . . to join the big boys south of the Chicory Line in Louisiana for the daiquiri drive-thru. Layin’ it ALL out across the airwaves ‘fore God and Man. Swagger with Stagger.
