from my experience, that is the world of the old Cybernet chassis radios. I thought something was wrong with my old 40 channel Midland SSB radio. Nope... Turns out you basically need to yell into the microphone to get any kind of modulation. Power mic is a must, and I forget which potentiometer inside you can adjust to get a bit more modulation (or whatever limiter to clip), but I didnt do any of that. I just went onto a better radio.

Though, the old General Electric radios with the power mic circuitry built in sound great. like the 3-5804D radios and a few others. I just avoid the other models that were not a cybernet board. 3-5804G was a completely different board inside.

[QUOTE="doffo, post: 855678, member: 27822"] from my experience, that is the world of the old Cybernet chassis radios. I thought something was wrong with my old 40 channel Midland SSB radio. Nope... Turns out you basically need to yell into the microphone to get any kind of modulation. Power mic is a must, and I forget which potentiometer inside you can adjust to get a bit more modulation (or whatever limiter to clip), but I didnt do any of that. I just went onto a better radio. :) Though, the old General Electric radios with the power mic circuitry built in sound great. like the 3-5804D radios and a few others.
