I am going to try to word this question and observations as simple as I can. I may not even be asking the correct question. I prefer the sound of the receive of the older CBs. I have a good many 23 channels with Cybernet main board: Midlands, a Pearce Simpson Pussycat 23 base. Some GEs and Kracos have come and went out of the collection. Just got a Johnson 4140 back from a local shop. I have one Cobra 29 23 channel. What is it about the receiver section of an older CB from the late 1970 or 1980s that the voice audio just seems plainer to me. I run the baby Stryker in my car as my primary mobile radio Stryker 89MC v2. I know that the baby Stryker is a poor example. I like it, but the voice audio does not seem as clear as a Midland 13-822C or a Cobra 29 23 channel for example. I have a Cobra 29 NW from 2005 hooked up to my base antenna right now. I swear the receive on my 1976 Cobra 29 23 channel kills the newer on on clarity. They are all properly aligned. It it the filtering on the older radios that make the voice clearer, or is the quality of the components better? Or maybe that voice from the older radios is the sound I associate it my head the why the radio is supposed to sound?

[QUOTE="secret squirrel, post: 769097, member: 7990"] I am going to try to word this question and observations as simple as I can. I may not even be asking the correct question. I prefer the sound of the receive of the older CBs. I have a good many 23 channels with Cybernet main board: Midlands, a Pearce Simpson Pussycat 23 base. Some GEs and Kracos have come and went out of the collection. Just got a Johnson 4140 back from a local shop. I have one Cobra 29 23 channel. What is it about the receiver section of an older CB from the late 1970 or 1980s that the voice audio just seems plainer to me. I run the baby Stryker in my car as my primary mobile radio Stryker 89MC v2. I know that the baby Stryker is a poor example. I like it, but the voice audio does not seem as clear as a Midland 13-822C or a Cobra 29 23 channel for example. I have a Cobra 29 NW from 2005 hooked up to my base antenna right now.
