How do you recommend to set your mic gain with this radio after peaked n tuned? Also which mic do you recommend for this one a standard mic, power mic or NoiseCanc Mic? ( mic gain recommendations)?
@eagleeyeradio994010 ай бұрын
If I set the radio up I would say leave the mic gain wide open unless the person you are talking to is very close and you are splattering on them. I leave the limiters in and adjust to work with it. Any mic that you like would suit. Mic choice depends on the environment that the radio is in and the tone/ loudness of the operators voice. If using a power mic, you would probably need to turn the gain on the mic itself down below halfway. Noise cancelling mics work great for most. As far as brand and or model number...depends on what you like. Of course the old turner road kings are a personal favorite but may be too bassy for many. In that case an astatic 636 may be right for you. The ranger sra198 is a good choice but I personally like those modified as the frequency response is a bit tight and cuts more audio than it should. Same with the stryker noise cancelling mic and the road pros. Slight mods to to make them more sensitive. In a quiet environment, the stock mic does well and can't hardly beat the true sound of a superstar dm402, but they may pick unwanted noise.

You mentioned not to turn RF power all the way up, and only set it halfway. I am curious what it would damage if it’s kept on high RF power? I just bought this radio and haven’t installed it yet at home. Does this apply to other radios as well to not raise RF power all the way up, or just the Rci-x9? Thank you.

I think there are 2 things here. 1. Words matter, If I tell you I can't fix it that is totally different then It can't be fixed. 2. You can't build integrity into people. I as a customer appreciate honesty, tell me YOU can't fix it because it's beyond you and I can respect that but to lie and say something like the board is cracked and can't be fixed is another thing. Now that you took the time to trouble shoot and make the quick repair and at a fair price, you would be my tech going forward. Refreshing to see an honest video, good job please keep up the outstanding work
