Tiny Anytone "Smart" CB radio
- Thread starter BBB
- Start date
I would not bother with the mic change. I would instead turn the modulation up from 70% to around 90-95% if you can. Do you even know what type of element the stock mic is using? If it is electret your 575 might be a step done. I have no idea what the current element is in the 575 but generally CB mic are garbage and the newer the mic usually the cheaper it has been made in ever way from the PTT switch tot he element and even the parts count in the amplifier sections. Unlike most things in this world CB radio's and mic's are getting worse with time not better. On top of that the radio sells for $49-$65 your mic is depending on when it was made can be anywhere from the $40-$125. Not sure that makes much sense but this is CB radio we are talking about so it does not have to make sense, sound good or be legal. Do let us know how it turns out. I recall the RF Magnum not sounding as good with most after market mics at is sounded with the factory mic. Same thing with K40 radio's changing out the K40 mic for somethign else never made an improvement.
Given how cheap the radio is compared to the cost of most power or noise canceling mic's if I had one in the daily driver and the mic went bad I would buy a new one and toss the old one in the closet for a latter date. When you could not get them any more and I needed a small AM/FM radio I would then put a new mic on it. It would also mean you would have a parts radio should you feel the need to keep the second unit going.

Thought id post this in here for anyone interested, A friend of mine has figured out a nice mod for these, I just completed the modifications on my radio and I am well more than impressed. Audio came up bigtime and not all garbly! I now get a nice controllable swing also with it! Adjustable from .5 watts deadkey to 10 deadkey swinging to 20-25 watts happily! Locals and 50 mile daily contacts say that this thing sounds better than ever! Hope this helps anyone!
