Uniden Wireless Microphone

[TonyV225]

Ide have a a use for a few of these but....have to do some investigating and searching for info on how its wired and to make sure it can be used with adaptors for other radios and HF Rigs.

I have a suspicion that its pretty much gonna be married to the new Uniden line of radios in its wiring shceme

I suspect that's the case as well.

EMAN from the forum was able to discover a reset for the mic cradle if it isn't able to snyc properly. The red light on mine was flashing and won't go to a steady red to sync with the mic and there were no instructions anywhere on how to do this.

I think EMAN saved some people some headaches by figuring this one out

UNIDEN BC906W RESET

With the cradle connected to the radio and the RADIO and MICROPHONE both TURNED ON, PRESS and HOLD the FIND/SYNC button on the CRADLE until the RED LED flashes faster. Then release the FIND/SYNC cradle button.

Next PRESS and HOLD BOTH of the VOLUME BUTTONS ONLY on the microphone until the microphone LED flashes a faster GREEN only. Then release the microphone volume buttons.

(The cradle RED LED and the microphone GREEN LED are now both flashing fast.)

The next steps are automatic and occur as follows:

FIRST: The CRADLE RED LED will go to a slow flashing indication.

SECOND: The MICROPHONE LED will go to a solid GREEN, (not flashing),
LED indication.

THIRD: The CRADLE LED will go to a solid RED, (not flashing), LED indication and receive audio will return to the microphone. Wireless microphone is now synced and ready to use.

Have you had additional audio reports?

I was also curious about the audio through the mic on output also as far as the recieve through its speaker is it easy to hear and understand?? I heard it on the video but whats your opinion when listening to it live??

Audio through the mic is pretty good, similar to a good sounding hand held radio.

Just to give you guys some more examples of the audio I made another video, a little more fun this time

Uniden BC906W Wireless Microphone Audio Test - YouTube

Haven't had a chance to record the transmitted audio but from the audio checks I got on the air today it seems like it sounds similar to the stock microphone. The Uniden 980 is pretty good on SSB even with the stock microphone so I'm guessing it sounds very clean and clear, but it's never going to be a audio monster and on AM it's probably quite tame.

Good review on how practical it can be.

I'm glad you stopped the video when you turned out the bedside lamp

Yeah, I was just trying to show that if you are one of those people that leave your radio on 24-7 you could just turn off the mic when you're done and hit the hay and then turn it back on in the morning.

I guess if you really wanted you could leave it on for those other nightly activities if you really were that worried about missing a contact :w00t:

I heard you on 38LSB today. Sounded good. I was in my garage on my Kenwood D72A HT listening through skycommand.

 

[camaro1]

have you tried the distance on the mic yet,, does it really work up to 100 meters?

A squelch/rf gain control would be nice along with a small LCD screen of S/RF meter. Now if everyone's radio would emit a tone signal so that a radio properly equipped would squelch out undesired signals.
Instead,Slave it over to a smartphone app using Bluetooth. That would be the cat's meow!
P.S. a slave device would be plugged into the radio.

 

[Brake Weight]

Hmmm. A PTT tethered app via the Internet with full radio controls could be within reason for a modern SMT radio. It's push buttons and 'fly by wire' knobs anyway.

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

To stay within the rules for remote keying it would have to be Bluetooth. The part that plugs into the radio would have to be designed to inter face with it. The whole thing would have to be designed,developed,and etc. Or wifi
