Wow, I never hear that from the XYL..........
Ran thru the house between trips and grabbed the Power cord I was missing.
There’s no substitute for the device function.
Literally, none, for mobile AM/SSB radios.
Have been near IH-65 in KY all day — Indy, to Louisville, to Nashville to Birmingham — this Interstate serves the USA as a western border. Up to Chicago, IL, and all the way down to Mobile, AL.
Past here are The Colonies. Some E-W but very little N-S.
For heavy truck traffic — with valuable loads (not simply bulk commodity) — IH65 doesn’t ever lack for continual radio chatter on AM-19. Company drivers and owner-operators.
With the right radio rig, how far away do you want to listen?
How many conversations at one time?

What I meant to say was: They'll have to pry mine from my cold dead pincers. Along with the .44 and the M1 Garand. (I'll need a third claw, won't I?)
Hey I’ve eaten there…At that time it was very good food.

What are you people................carnivores?

Most definitely sir. My wife is from Canada and her family lives in Halifax. One year she says I want to know what Maine Lobster is all about. So we stopped and had a wonderful Maine Lobster.
Now you should have posted your question “What are you people…..carnivores?” In the Timothy section of this forum.

Agree 100 %. No excuse for any form of abuse, however, life on this planet is animals consuming animals and human beings are omnivorous creatures no matter what any progressive agenda attempts to guilt-trip you with.
Truck Driver Mobile Perspective
Having knocked myself out installing new coax + antennna mounts on a t680 Kenworth (literally, Texas summer heat on asphalt parking lot was too much), DSP Spkr adds complication to understanding WHAT and HOW improvements “occurred”.
IOW, just might be someone out there adds DSP and rejects the additional information now available by removing and re-installing previous external speaker in a big truck mobile install.
“Too weird”
“Can’t get it quiet”
“Don’t like it”
IOW, we can get down to if the radio is operating properly, and whether or not the operator will accept the different audio qualities.
I haven’t tried a radio where I thought this true, but I’d not be surprised someone backed away from better performance because it sounded different. And that difference was more than they’d bargained for.
Note: This last trip from D/FW to East Cosst and back brought home to me that In some instances I could really point out to radio operators that they not only had too much Echo, but too much Mic Gain or if Talkback was being used. (I can tell if the rig needs adjustment, but I don’t always offer to help fix it over the air).
Was always (before) aware of bad audio, now I could dial them down with precision. Took awhile to understand this wasn’t a fluke. Or, imaginary. IOW, now I think I understand base operator complaints about trucker bad audio as real. I sorta shrugged it off as being an off-center complaint.
Too much Echo (or delay) was always obvious on typical truckers CB with any external speaker. Less so for Mic Gain. Talkback On wasn’t even a category until I heard one hand counsel another and realize I’d been hearing the problem, but not knowing the cause.
If there’s someone new to 11-Meter, get them started with DSP Audio.
Make THIS what is “normal”.
What radio brand/model not nearly as important, IMO. No other radio rig component in 11-Meter mobile is as critical (past antenna system).
Typically poor big truck antenna system doesn’t reveal this as much as when that flaw is treated to best effort.
DSP Audio always better. But when antenna system is improved, this ain’t like my Daddy’s Big Radio!
It’s a hell of a question mark as to whether this damned thing is NORMAL. (Warn ‘em. Tell ‘em it’s more of what one CAN hear with a base where problems have been sorted AND has DSP).
Their beloved trucker radio is better than they thought it was is how I approach it. They just couldn’t use it all. (Kinda like getting a high HP car to hook up).
The guys in large cars with a through-and-through quality radio system are in a special class of performance the fleet-spec company trucks don’t share. They’re the minority these days. Some of the “weirdness” won’t be new as West Coast mirror arms to an all-aluminum cab was always a better ground plane resulting in better antenna performance AND no super-tall condo sleeper blocking signal.

One of the strangest phenomena in discrete listening is when another vehicle passes that is a LOUD source of noise. While it existed previous to use of DSP Audio it wasn’t always clear as to VEHICLE or LOCAL as to source (other vehicle may have been coincidental; traveling at 64-mph+ means short time frames).
It is clear now.
Filtration of this sort knocks off the blurred edges which extend outwards and mix with other noises. (Forest underbrush not cleared away).
“Noise” can be identified in the sense of “isolated”. Typical big truck CB, you can’t tell.
