HF mobile radio questions

But Bill, basically your problem was with a crappy remote mic and the service you got (or did not get) as a result of it,not the radio itself. Those remote mics have a big problem with RF feedback. Anyone running the regular MH-31 mic does not have that problem.


I LOVE MY YAESU FT-857 WITH THE STOCK MH-31 MICROPHONE :LOL:


But then that's just ME. ;)

You are correct, the reason I bought the remote mic was to make mobile operation easier :(

Highlander, I dont even want to remember the RCI days, to many radios :roll:

KingCobra_CDX882 , are your Icom radios PC programmable?

check here it will probably cover any questions you may have on the ic-7000.

I had to send my mic out to have mods done to it to open up the frequency response a little more, that info is also here.
I was going to get the 857 but after adding all the accessories to it the price was pretty close to the ic-7000. :D

What accessories are you referring to?
filters and mic board to improve user enhancement

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
