Not a problem. That's what everyone is here for! I would at least call them and see if you can get to speak with a senior tech. Explain that all your equipment seems to land in the center of the scale so you want it calibrated to the center. the guy I spoke with was really good, knew everything...

I have to believe it's in the calibration. I sent my Diawa in to the factory with a note requesting they calibrate it to the center of the scale for each power setting. Diawa usually calibrates the meter to the top of their scales, and this will make the meter less sensitive towards the lower...

Make sure you're putting about 5 watts carrier into it, and that the meter is on the 20 watt scale in average mode. Not pep.

Yeah, now and then my limiter kicks in and cuts the audio so bad I can't hear it for a few seconds. It's very slow. Getting to be a pain. Funny how new technology seems to make everything much worse than the old days.

I stream everything and use my Roku service the most. My TV is the latest model Samsung and I have the auto-volume enabled to try to help the situation. But that seems to be confused as well because it keeps going slowly softer then louder, then softer, etc. Effects and audience noise seems to...

I've noticed this and what really irks me is I need to crank up to hear the dialog, but then the stupid laugh tracks they stick in come ripping through.

I made a quick video of my meter working. I'm not a pro videographer but you can see how the meter works anyway.

Also, make sure you don't have the peak hold switch flipped up on the back. Keep the PEAK HOLD switch off, and make sure you're using the proper power scale for your particular input. Start with a barefoot radio, push the 20W scale button in and keep the Average/pep button popped out. You should...

The 901 is very simple. The watt meter is self explanatory. Pick the scale needed. The SWR can only be used in Average mode and AM or FM. You read the line where the two needles intersect.

Holy crap! Sorry to hear that. Hope everything goes well and you get back to normal soon. Good luck to you, my friend.

I second the Daiwa 901. It's what I use and it's stout.

Actually, one of my suggestions was to add SSB to another radio. I didn't have one in mind, but I was going to mention that having one SSB radio out of the entire line has got to be losing potential sales. I'm not extremely familiar with all of the models, so you think the 447 would by the kitty?

Over all, with a few minor changes, I think this is the best NC mic I've played with. Once the plosives and breath noise are dealt with, this mic really sounds great!

Yup, it doesn't take much, but the breath filter is absolutely necessary on these mics. I have a meeting coming at the end of the week with shawn and I'm going to recommend this mod.

They are 10 turn pots so a bit of cranking is necessary.

I just stuck it over the front to test it so I could try it on and off a few times. It truly made a world of difference. I'm going to disassemble the mic and put it against the screen, eventually. I can't even believe the difference it made in audio quality.

I've been playing with mine and trying a few experiments. Here is what I found. The adjustment pots work, but need to be a bit more responsive. Gotta crank them way too much. BUT, this mic has more gain than the Palomar. It's hotter and actually sounds better. BUT, it desperately NEEDS more...

That's what we mechanics call igniting the parts cannon.

I've installed nearly 100 1/4 wave whips in my time and always, always used the ball and spring mount for 108" NEVER had to modify the length of any of them and the absolute WORST SWR I have even had on an installation was 1.5:1. And that was because the antenna was mounted on a truck directly...

If you haven't noticed, we do it here. WDX-945 here!
