11 meter is very quiet?

[whiteastro]

I went to that West mountain radio site and listened to the demos and it is impressive. More study is in order ! sounds good for the Auto travel but does it filter out the air noise when there is no transmission going on ?

 

[whiteastro]

You wouldn't be the first one that said that. The Great Mike from Mike's Radio Repair didn't think highly of that mod either. I'm going to take my 2547 to a better location.and test it out further before I make any decisions. I've had it almost 2 years and it has left me disappointed. I have 3 Base Stations and 1 has got to go. 1 for the radio room and 1 for the garage

Whats the answer to this question? Thanks

I don't get what you're asking sir, sorry.

Now I get it. Night Thumper explained it to me.

It will reduce, not remove dead air noise. Makes it much more "listenable" (real word?). Has helped me with QRM problems I fight. I hear weaker signals that I don't think I could hear without it.
There are several threads here about them that may help.

When you have your radio turned on and no one is talking you still can hear static thru the speaker and that interferes with listening to music when you travel

 

[whiteastro]

The problem being when you travel around here most of the time people aren't talking and static is just trash to the ears.

Thanks for all the help, you did a great job. I'll do more research. I probably can't have my Cake and Eat it Too ! LOL

Skip is crazy right now. I have radios from Indiana to Delaware to Florida all hitting me at the same time on 27.305

I have this "expensive" speaker.

It's just my opinion, which ain't worth much, but I believe in most CB radios the whole Schottky diode thing is smoke and mirrors.

I don't know the difference between a lug-nut and a diode. Lol....lol!

So you have one of these expensive speakers, what is your review of this speaker? Does it enhance your CB experience enough to make it worth the extra money?

 

[whiteastro]

If I'm remembering correctly Mike's radio repair talked about some Germanium diode being better than the Schotky diode for reducing noise, so that needs to be investigated also.

I'd say give it a try before you ship (or drive) your radio to have a bunch of options installed.

There was 2 options there the speaker and the little control box which looks like you use your existing speaker. Was wondering what the pros & cons of each is. I already have many speakers. Is the control box more effective?

First off I hate to see this thread veer off course..here’s a link to a great discussion regarding the WestMountain DSP: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/westmountainradio-clrdsp-feedback.262018/

I have owned both the stand alone DSP box and the speaker/DSP combined. In my opinion the combination is a better option as I believe the DSP and Speaker are better matched than trying to match the stand alone DSP to the right speaker. In addition I think the speaker in the combination unit is outstanding.
