Inexpensive TX EQ

[2RT307]

I stumbled across one of these things for sale on Ebay:

Then I found it on Simon's site:

Have any of you guys heard of this or tried one? I'm curious about it especially because of it's size and price. Plus, it gets it's power from the rig, so no extra wiring involved. Sure would be easy to go mobile with one.

I too have run across them on eBay several times for my icom 746. I wonder how well they work as well? With only 5 band eq I wonder if it truly worth it or not. Does have compression and and alc red light as to not over modulate. Hopefully someone will chime in that has used one. Maybe one of the UK guys.

5 band eq should be enough , but yeah, a 7 or 8 band would be better. Would be nicer if it had a noise gate, too.

Nice find. 80hz to 3khz is about all the pass-band your going to find in an HF radio so it should work fine. Unless you run the an Yaesu FTDX model like Brett and I, then you can open up the 4khz tx bandwidth. I'm looking forward to trying that out with someone running that bandwidth just to hear it. I normally run my tx at 2.8khz and rx at 3khz.

Overpriced - typical rip off the amateur routine. Bob Heil uses a $60 Behringer Xenyx 802 and a $129 Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0. FX.
