Yeah. And I won’t stop.
In a mobile it’s flat irreplaceable given CB/Export (my experience). I haven’t run Amateur (where DSP is built-in).
Everything one can do to improve a mobile installation is going to be worth the effort. Most stop short (is my impression).
Ones radio hears more than he believes it capable.
Therefore, consider it a test.
Better ears (revealed) brings up other
potential SYSTEM shortcomings.
More investigation (experimentation) is more quickly realized (compared to an ordinary, quality, external speaker).
When one has audible layers of conversations going RF Gain & Squelch take a breather. No longer Coarse, but Fine, as controls.
“Best” location will always be above and behind left ear. Therefore, in a pickup, consider a B-pillar mount. A bracket. Easily reached. (Adjustments aren’t often, but you’ll want to check).
I’ve attached bracket to speaker with rubber washers. Bracket hasn’t ever given me cause for worry. I usually ALSO Velcro the speaker in place (and maybe zip ties; as a big truck offers more possibilities).
I suppose the idea (OMG!) of a pair of slits in the headliner is anathema. But it’s how I’ll do it in my Dodge.
Audio cable length is one restriction with included components. I’ve used adapters with another length of shielded (best to buy a second and/or third from WMR; or altogether custom-length; Blue Jeans Cable, maybe).
It’s less fatiguing to listen to have it mounted thus. Detail is obvious. Adjustable.
I have ferrites on each end of both audio & power; several wraps.
Good to do same with microphone cord.
CAIG DEOXIT a required supply item.
