    11 meter is very quiet?

    The solar site says poor conditions today for 10-12 meters so not expecting much today and yesterday wasn't to shining. And the old cold front coming in so trapped indoors. So wishing everyone Happy Thanksgiving and make sure you eat Too much and take that Turkey Nap. LOL Maybe we will luck out...

    Anytone Q6 Pro mic gain setting help !

    Tried your method tonight and it worked good because my 2547 already has a large headphone jack in the front and turned the mic gain back up to 44. But tomorrow I'll try it on lsb with the amp turned on to see if there is distortion from the amp. Thank for the tip and I'll try it with my Cobra...

    Anytone Q6 Pro mic gain setting help !

    That's interesting because both of my Q6 Pro had the mic gain in the 40s. The one I pulled and put in my radio room was at 44 and the one in my car I don't remember but it was in the 40s and I changed it to the default 33. I don't know if Trucks CB shop set them there or if I did when I first...

    Anytone Q6 Pro mic gain setting help !

    That sounds like a good idea if I get a good set of headphones with a small jack. I have a good set but they are from back in the day when I listened to stereo music. Can the listening radio be in the same room with out a antenna hooked to it ? That would be great because my Galaxy 2547 sets...

    Thanks for the come back Dave and I hope to get the time to check it out further. I'm getting close to getting my buddy to come up and talk to me from that radio so I can hear for myself. The trouble with him he is a old CBer from back in the day and can't keep his hands off the controls so you...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I never hear anything on 33 lsb but usb 35 & 40 would work also. Sounds good for a meeting place. Good Luck I will keep my ears open when I can.. You might get a little bleed over on 35 usb, just a thought !

    There is a old saying ( He who Snoozes Loses ). If they wanted this property they should have bought it before I did instead of waiting for the price to come down. They will just have to Live on their Postage Stamp with all their small town ordinances and dream. I worked Hard to make this...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    It's a long story and my neighbors are the neighborhood trouble makers and have wanted my property even before I bought it. As a Viet Nam veteran I get tired of handling everyone with Kids Gloves. Freedom of speech is for me also not just scum bags. My policy is don't stir the pot because the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Well was excited to try out my Q6 Pro today since I changed my mic gain adjustment yesterday and the solar site said 10-12 meter was poor for today and they weren't wrong for me. 11 meter wasn't worth a squat for me. LOL And yesterday it was Good of coarse and my Spoiled Silver Spoon neighbor...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Was you talking on a Q6 Pro and what channel. I spent a little time in the radio room but mostly re-hooking my Q6 Pro and fooling around with my settings. I'm spending these 3 days cleaning up my neglected House after getting winter ready.

    Anytone Q6 Pro mic gain setting help !

    I pulled my Q6 Pro out of my Expedition because the SUV had to go to the repair garage for brake work. While I was at it I hooked it to my base antenna to try out a few days ago and made a contact who said my Audio was off which surprised & disappointed me. Well today I got searching for the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I'm thankful where I set in the valley the South & West is open to me but the North and East is cut off from me. If I set on the hill range the other side of the valley I'd be pretty much SOL and would hang it up. I'm surprised though my Star Duster does reach across the big pond to Europe and I...
