The way to do that would be to remove the variable pot once it's been set and check it then but the chances of having the same resisitor or even close to that value would be nearly 0 and then no-ones voices pitches ar the same so a fixed resistor is out of the question which is the reason for the variable in the 1st place.
no i hear what you are saying..
but the mics we are using now, the RK56 and 636L have no frequency response!
we use cobra/uniden cb's
they all sound great, but they are missing that big export sound!
im still going to play around with a fixed resistor for mine..
i really dont like drilling holes in my new mic..
the pot modification is a great idea.. just not for me..
just trying to get some kind of an idea instead of blindly swapping out
resistors and recording the results from the home 20..
right now i clipped off the top of the load resistor leaving enough to solder to..
took the other leg, bent it out of the way a bit and used forcepts to put a slight kick on the end..
then i solder a resistor across the 2..
when i get what i want i might leave it like that or yank the mic out and
just put the value i want in..
when taking out the mic, is getting at the front a PITA?
if so, i will do it the way i got it now..
thanks for the help,
johnny
