Sorry to necro an old post... but here it goes:

This "Mauldulator" crap is just that -- crap. I have a couple of locals running that nonsense -- and let me tell you -- while they are indeed passing much more frequency response across the band, that increase sounds like complete garbage (heavy distortion in the highs and lows), and I've modded my radio for a receive upgrade). Not to mention that they're splattering across four channels.

The only folks in my neck of the woods that are broadcasting in "Broadcast Quality" are the ones that simply incorporated a studio microphone into their setup, and widened their bandwidth a tad (replacing some caps). :tt1:

As the old saying goes, sometimes less is more. If you're willing to spend a few hundred dollars to sound like over-modulated garbage over multiple frequencies, by all means tickle the Snake-Oil Salesman.

Or, you could spend a couple of hundred less and upgrade a few components and sound much better in the end. :oops:

Boys, boys, boys. CB radio is proving over and over the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted". There is no such thing as a "mauldulator" or Hi-Fi CB radio. These are ficticious creatures like the Lochness Monster and Big Foot.

Splattering 4 channels....oh my GOD....the world is going to end! If my radios can't splatter several channels, they would go into the trash because the audio would have to be flat as a pancake. Did you get kicked off the Copper forum?

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
  • @ AudioShockwav:
