Way To Broadband The Audio in Styker 655V2 via Menu?

[Wire Weasel]

In Menu 1 you can adjust the AM TX Bandwidth to 4.0khz ..... but this doesn't affect the audio tone. Is there another menu selection to deepen or make richer the AM Audio sound? Thanks

In the 955, there is also a selection for RX.

The menu includes choices for RX and TX. A word of caution; opening up the RX makes a lot more white noise in the upper audio frequencies. After playing for quite some time, I ended up leaving mine on 3.0k. Any more than that is just annoying hiss.

No help guys. Have already done that. Asking about changing the sound of the Audio Out.

What microphone are you using?

The menu DOES change the sound of the audio if you choose RX and choose 4.0k

Hi Greg .... but you keep referencing the 955. The 655 does not have this choice. The 655 has fewer FUNCT/Programming/TEST choices as it lacks SSB, and some the Features offered in TEST on the 655 are on different numbers than the 955.

I'm aware that I can change the audio tone with an equalizer etc ..... Thanks

Then you'll have to replace some components.

Is the 655 that different from the 955 on audio circuit design?

Are you sure yours is not defective and that no golden screw drivers have been inside the radio?

What mic are you using? Have you ruled out the mic?

I do not know anything about the 655 not heard one on air yet. That said the Stryker 955 has the best AM audio I have heard on a radio marketed to the CB world in the last 20 years maybe more. Being an AM only radio as in not having SSB I would imagine it's AM audio would be fantastic? Does it need "different audio" through the menu?

Is this just you exploring the limits of the radio or is the stock audio crap? It might be defectives.

Good Luck hope it works out for you!

Just exploring the menu adjustments. I am surprised they left the option off the 655 while including it in the 955.

Goldfinger has upgrades for the audio chain for the 6666, 955 and the like. Maybe check out his mod's for that chassis.

 

[Wire Weasel]

Yeah .... I'm not doing any microsurgery on an SMD chassis. There are techs in the area that do that but their fees make me wince. I'll live with the regular decent audio that I have now, thanks

I would agree with you. And the 655 is actually AM and FM.
