Plugs into the port marked relay I guess? (just saw the pic - thanks!)
Heil foot switch is: Footswitch | Amateur Radio | Heil Sound
Model: FS-2. Apparently already set up to trip amp first then key radio.
related question - what does Ameritrons QSK5PC switch board do?
But you can make the audio sound better than it does with a cb style mic.
The radio of course does matter:
The 2995 I have can pass from 400 to 5000 Hz.
My cobra 29 does from 300 to 3000 Hz
My Galaxy 2547 only does 300 to 2500 Hz
A cobra 2000 does from 300 to 3000 Hz
This is an...
"I don't know where you get your stuff in Canada but, if I were to go home today and throw away everything with a "made in China" or other asian country label on it there would be nothing left except my dogs and a bag of potatos."
I'd still have:

The Ranger 2995dx has a port for a frequency counter.
Does anyone have the radio and knows how this works?
Is this a full RF Sample port (RX and TX) that a scope can be connected to? Or is it TX only?
Hard to tell from manual.
The rating system is arbitrary. And even in those defined categories the rating itself is arbirary.
Example - gives Bells 3 stars because they are "expensive" and he has an old site.
Personally, I dont care about the site, although a newer sie does look more professional. I care about decent...
New filter in place.
Turned down modulation well under 100%.
I'll check with him this weekend to see if he heard anything.
After that I'll give him or help him install chokes around the surround sound amp . . . . after that . . . . .not sure.
stock radio 3 swing 8 maybe and a 2 pill with 2290's - based on my watt meter I wasn't over driving it as far what it is supposed to do. Max watts out were about 150 or so with a 50 dk out the amp.
Neighbors house further from antenna than mine, at least 100 yards from antenna. No interference...
Added an inexpensive low pass filter I had laying around, marginal impact to SWR. Not sure it helped.
Also ordered one that was highly recommended on hamnet - bencher ya-1 which I will swap in when it arrives.
Other than that anything else I can do on my end?
Antenna make a difference...
I was thinking in terms of improving what the baseline is.
I agree none of things are optimal but they will work to some extent and most likely better than what is in place now.
For instance, I've run a mag mount off a filing cabinet, wasn't as good as an IMAX 2000, 50 feet in the air but...
Recommendations:
- put the antenna outdoors on the biggest piece of horizontal metal you can find, top of ac unit or as someone suggested, a cookie sheet.
- alternately switch to something that doesn't need a ground plane, A 108" metal whip, fiberglass antenna etc and mount outside
- dipole...
