So, I just bought an Icom 7300, still in mail, so don't have it yet. I want to use my Yaesu M1, and other studio mic gear that's all wired for 8 pin Yaesu. I know Icom uses electret mic, and it seems pin 2 is 8volts, but it also seems after looking at mic wiring diagrams on net, that pin 1, the...

The difference in rx overall sound between usb and lsb is about normal, what Id expect. Also, to mention rx on usb in how other stations sound is normal as well. Its just the tx Audio quality on usb thats off. I do want to thank everyone that took the time to try and help, it is appreciated...

Yeah, thats an interesting couple of posts.

Bought new 2995 dxcf. Works fine on am/fm and lsb. About 140 watts pep and great audio. But, usb, not so great audio and power more around 100 watts. The audio isn't muffled or dirty sounding, its more like its transmitting at a far narrower band width than the other modes. It has that very...

Im running a old Yaesu YM 33 non amped dynamic mic along with an UR6QW 8 band analog equilizer on mine, and reports tell me it is better than the stock mic, but not by huge amount. After reading various complaints in this post about this radio I'm gonna say that by far, it's light years better...

Ok, cracked the secret technique of making the vox work. You have to make sure squelch is up to point its quieting static etc. Then make sure vox is turned on via menu #16. In case anyone cares. 999,BC,Canada

I did check out the manual in regards to vox operation but it doesn't say how to use vox, it does say what the two menu numbers associated to vox operation do. Menus 16 and 17. I've owned many rigs with vox, this is not my first vox rodeo. I've never had issues using vox on any other radio...

It keys with no voice. I tried adjusting both menu settings, but nothing seems to work

No vox jack on back. I just assumed with turning it on in menu, and using stock mic as is, it would work. Its advertised as having vox and its certainly got 2 settings in its menu. Not sure whats up with getting it to work. 999,BC,Canada

Anytone Q5N2 vox question??? Can't seem to get mine working. I've turned it on in menu and played with both sensitivity and delay settings (menu #16 &17), but cant get it working. Anyone else have issues or suggestions? 999,BC,Canada

I tried your suggestion using the mic, and yeah, now if I key the mic, I can change the values. Wow, crazy system. Thanks

So on Q5N2, to access service menu, you hold in menu and mode buttons and then power up radio, then push sequentially the next 6 buttons to enter service menu. That works fine for me. Then turn channel selector knob to cycle through menu items. Works fine for me. The part I'm not figuring here...

So, I have the Q5N2, and so far I'm pretty impressed. I'm now running mine with a Ur6qw 8 band equilizer along with a Yaesu YM-33 dynamic desk mic. Nothing but flowers on the audio there. So, I'm curious about opening up tx bandwidth via the service menu. I dont know what these radio's do stock...

Nomadradio. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that out. I now fully understand my situation with that rca jack, and realize now its a waste of time trying to find a freq counter for that jack. Wow, what a crock ! Thanks again Steve 999,BC, Canada

Ive been using a UR6QW for a year or so, Ive run it on a few different radios now, including RCI 2995 DXCF,Stryker 955 HPC and a JCP 6241. On ssb, my audio reports have been absolutely outstanding! I am totally a firm believer in that little piece of equipment. My experience though is to use it...

On the back of new 2995's, there is a rca jack to add a frequency counter. I haven't found any aftermarket counters that seem to plug in to a radio with just a rca connection. All counters I'm seeing are using a 6 pin plug.Does anyone know what brand/model of freq counter works with this rca...

Good information, I appreciate you taking the time. As I wrote earlier, I have an hf radio, Ive had many through the years. Ive been playing with radios since mid 70's, I am not a rank beginner like perhaps I might have come across as. As I wrote, there's times I just want to use a simple...

Ok, that is good to know. I guess I was incorrectly theorizing about the swr issue. Preesh

Haha,ouch
