Saw some earlier comments about VOX in a negative sort of way.
VOX is great for mobile. You can get a wired mic or you can rig up a wireless headset with some ingenuity.
I use a Samson pro audio earset mic on VOX, Makes mobile radio so much easier.

Today I tested low dk and high in AM. Gave me less than 1/2 and 3 3/4 on high setting.
On SSB I whistled on low to about 5-7w and 12-15w on high using my Asatic PDC1 meter.
There is no separate adjustment between AM and SSB.. Just 1 knob..
So if you want to run an RM amp on a budget this will easily turn down.
I get a 1/2w difference between ch 1 and ch 40.

Interesting - I was expecting to see something similar to a Uniden 980 or Grant II but the board looks different than both. Guess I'll have to get my hands on one to have a closer look.
- No one is chatting at the moment.

@ BJ radionut:
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned -

@ ButtFuzz:Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
