very nice, but all it did was confuse me all over again. which one do i get? if i do this i need this one , or if i get this i'll need this for it ...aaahhhhhhh. to many choices!!!!
I went to HRO yesterday during lunch and got to play with the one they have there for a few minutes. All I have to say is WOW! That receiver is UNBELIEVABLE. The twin PBT works just as good as my Icom 746 Pro....the NB is now adjustable, as is the DSP Noise Reduction. If I needed a new radio and had some spare cash laying around, I sure would seriously consider this one. It appears to be heads and shoulders above my 706mkIIg
How about the squelch on FM? That's one of the gripes I have with my 706's--it's too tight; either on or off. Pops in and out, in and out if you set it at the threshold, misses signals if you set it deep.
I hope to see them at Charlotte this March. I've heard good things about them. DSP on 706's sounds "pinched".
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.
