There are YouTube reviews. I haven’t seen any for 11-meter (except SSB) just other bands.

Personally, the audio is of a higher quality than with a UNIDEN BC-20 or COBRA s500. I’d want to compare it to the KENWOOD mobile speaker used in public service vehicles.

That said, the audio is “different”. Voices, etc. Not enough to matter as the DSP circuitry flat eliminates a lot of noise and allows one to hear around the rest.

Your radio is better than you think. But without DSP you won’t know it. (I don’t care brand, etc).

BHI also sells similar, and inline modules available. Also some radio mount boards.

But the WM speaker really can’t be beat for mobile. (I’d be VERY surprised if anyone returned one).

It IS the other half of the equation.

1) The antenna system

2) The transceiver (with DSP).

i have a kenwood mobile speaker. was looking at it thinking with a little modification it would work.
I'll YT the speaker and dig around. i personally don't like a cheap sounding speaker.

@Slowmover/ what is the blue cable with that speaker in picture? Looks like other cable is possibly a standard jack plug for the back of radio. do tell

Do you mea you intend to add the DSP Module between radio & speaker?

It’s the variable filtration offered by the DSP circuitry that matters.

The audio quality of the speaker is well-matched to any level of filtration.

The radio has two inputs:

1). 12V-DC

2). Audio from transceiver.

The blue cable is Audio.
