Talked to Newfoundland Canada on 37 LSB today.. looks like 1200 miles from me here in PA. Said I was 'burning him up' and 5/10..
Guessing I finally got the right rig for the job..

Dont want to bust your bubble but the type of "rig" had very little to do with that contact.
After all the crap luck and only local contacts from within 60 miles I would say better than I was for sure..
Seems like this radio hears better than my last 3 radios as well.
We’ll not make this about right/wrong or budgetary concerns, please. Think of that which is MISSING from Export equipment.
See descriptions on eHam the difference DSP filtering makes, in equipment reviews.
Several threads here.
It’s the wrong approach, IMO, to simply call it, “an expensive speaker”, as if whatever you’re currently using and these can be categorized similarly.
They can’t.
1). This thread, your very first sentence asks, what can I expect?
2). The first usage report, pretty well very first sentence is about “white noise” (for which those are known).
Missing from Export equipment is DSP Filtration. Covers both.
(No need to reply; please find this post a general statement only).

I saw BHI makes a small dsp module( BHI NEDSP1061-KBD) that goes in radio. 4 wire install. Positive/audio in/audio out/0 volt.
Like $150 with 8 filter levels and simple push button.. maybe a tech can do that for me.

Post echip install.. 24-32..
And some mix of 10/11/12 programmed in for the heck of it.
Running it in manual frequency mode for the most part..
I love it thus far..

My new 2950CD has slight 'hiss' per session, but it has not impeded my last conversation to a guy 1200 miles away..
I did look into the BHI filter, still debating on getting it though..
Ordered a pre-wired Workman DM-452 power mic for it.. don't really want to mess with internals of radio for a little more modulation..
Anyone else run this mic??

Well at 8 on RF power knob I get a good 1 1/2w dk on AM. Seems to put my TS350 meter on a 6. for sideband I turn to 12/noon I get a good 20w with a 1kHZ tone thru the mic and a good 6-7 on the TS350 meter and over 225w on my MFJ941e tuner in bypass mode to my A99.
My swr was flat at 26.915, was 1.1 on channel 20, and at 27.385 was 1.2 with the TS350 on..

Seemingly 20+ years ago I had one of those mics around, they always seemed to work OK, and maintain reliability despite the clunky feeling, although I always wanted to take one and rewire it to knock the echo slider out and turn it into a volume/gain control instead.
Find yourself an old Astatic 1104c and have at it, you will be vey happy
Wanting Silver Eagle or D104 with I think a TUG9 base with dual ptt (base and side squeeze)..
So many on EB.. but not sure which one to get.. I want powered I think, though unsure..
- No one is chatting at the moment.
