Yes I have used one and YES they will knock the RX down terribly.Don't waste your hard earned money on these!
All they are is a gimmick.They will "cut" some noise out but they also "cut" your RX too.Too much to be beneficial anyways.

I've used one also, but found it didn't hurt my receive as much as it helped me get out.
BUT...
I was driving a Sterling truck and because of static and interference, we were not able to get out or receive more than a mile...sometimes 6 tenths of a mile. In my case, it helped a lot. If you are getting out and receiving, I have my doubts that it would not affect your receiving ability. In other words...I think it will kill your receive.

Oh it is a noise chopper alright!
It will kill your RX.
What problem do you have that you need one of these?
Ignition noise?
Alternator whine?

Basically it was a signal reducer similar to the old RF Attenuation button. It was a gimmick but Valor sold quite a few of these things when I worked for them.

@ BJ radionut:
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 -

@ ButtFuzz: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.
