To follow up my last post in this thread: the WMR CLRSPCH DSP Speaker is akin to using a thermal riflescope.
The heat signature leaves NO DOUBT that game is present (“did I see something move?”)
— The forest (hash) with trees and brush is still present, though reduced, but RX is now SHARPLY outlined. The brain doesn’t have to fill in blanks — guess — at words or sentences only partially understood.
— And this is DESPITE the use of stock phrases (on AM-19, among truckers), one is left un-certain.
DSP Audio Filtration adds certainty where words aren’t any longer partially swallowed up in noise. (Reliance on hard consonants to decipher).
Am getting the day underway in a rural area. Have adjusted Side Mic Radio audio tone controls to wide-open (not just RF Gain & Squelch; those two now rarely used).
Have to remember to keep total volume lower than using background hash as that marker since a nearby local keying up to spark his buddy in another rock hauler would blow my ears out.
The product users with a well-sorted base station antenna system can (likely) make finer discernments on value than me in my driving a composite-body Kenworth in Mobile (business-use). My radios are a selection of CB & Export, not Amateur gear.
FWIW, my antenna system (complete) is at about $400. Radio (plus Power) at about $500. $200 for an improvement I can’t match otherwise by spending isn’t “expensive”.
— The Interstate just got closed (completely) by a Haz-Mat tanker spill 200-miles farther ahead on the busiest trans-continental route: I was the only one around me who heard a discussion between two drivers of a nationwide carrier.
— Icy Interstate and a report of a collision just over the crest of a hill means my 20-mph is FAR too fast to hit the summit (and I’m the only one who heard it).
Next, is the pleasure of a very good mobile rig: understanding vocal nuance (versus making out words) means rapport (repartee).
If — among the 3.5-million American truck drivers — maybe 10% have “decent” radio rigs (as judged by those on this forum) aligned with general expectations about CB (what’s possible), we are down to a few ten thousands where optimal performance is possible.
Beyond The Pale of Settlement are the very few with gear (install) which exceeds what’s thought possible.
Others stay stuck with a carbine with mis-aligned iron sights. Think it’s “representative” of what CB offers. 75-yards is “adequate”.
Others want a thermal imaging sight so as to have a chance at making 400-yards shots right at sunset.
My take is: it’s not coincidence you’re reading on a radio forum. Overcoming the deficiencies of the other mans rig is the goal. The Word will be for those who’ve prepared the way. (Do your part).
