Ah -  the hot topic of "swing" in the modulation and the myths involved:ohmy:


Honest question though. My 1993 142GTL base deadkeys 2 watts and modulates to 5 with it's shoes off. I turned the power pot down years ago. The mod is strong - mostly because I run a Sadelta Echo Master Plus on it - a very powerful mic.


I picked up a Cobra 29LTD at flea market, and it honestly deadkeys 6 watts and swings to 10. It pushes the pee outta my Palomar Elite also, but the swing with it's shoes ON is backwards. 300 watts on meter and when I whistle, it swings down to 275.


Can somone explain? Im also using the Sadelta with the 29.
