Always thought it was the opposite thanks for the info

[@Radionut]

Hey that guy looks just like Earnhardt Junior. Thanks for the correct procedure video

[@UDX-21]

That is good advise, some guys start off sounding good, and then they seem to fall on the floor. LOL Stop in sometime for a coffee break, 21 in South Carolina. Old Radio Night

[@javyjavier7826]

Eat the mic, a super simple explanation!!!

[@Radionut]

Very informative how to thank you

[@CBLounge2112]

Mics are delicious!!!

[@miguelsalami]

Ok I just bought a Turner road king Mic and ate it. My personal experience was it didn't taste very good and it was hard and crunchy. Now my problem is I have to buy a new Mic but want one that's more Tasty 🤓❗🇺🇸

[@kellyasche1108]

i also ate the mic however am now constipated and when i do shit it hurts! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@paolomichielin4849]

Ottima spiegazione. Piuttosto come si potrebbe modificare x levare il limitatore di rumore! Se si quali componenti da modificare? Grazie!

[@20807shane]

Interesting. I’ve always been told to talk across the mic rather than into it.

[@43Magicman]

I’m hungry!!

[@southerncross3638]

Thnx.

Do anybody know which microphone you can buy the truck stop that will Interchange to a Midland Power Max 40 channel

[@Gitarzan66]

Maybe that's been my problem. Too far back.

[@Shanedog76]

if your Cb. is peaked,tuned and has more power than stock, then you don't want to have your mouth close to the mic! but if its a stock set up then you do want your mouth close to the mic

[@Adamdaj]

You need to close to the mic, but not eating mic. That's just as bad being too far. I say no more then 3 inches away from the mic, don't kiss the mic.

[@KiloWatt304]

no need to eat the mike if the radio was tuned properly this would not be an issue

[@stratafm]

They're directional mics. Very directional. Tuned or not, they need your mouth to be as close as possible. Anything more than an inch or so away from the mic will be severely muted. Even moreso if you try to talk off axis. Close equals loud with these mics. Any space between your mouth and that mic and you're not getting its full potential.

[@shanebrier363]

I always hold a thumbs width away. Perfect

[@paolomichielin4849]

Ho provato questi Astatic,, ma sono incomprensibili a distanza. Non esiste un modo x bay passare il sistema anti rumore? Grazie!

[@billybassman21]

I hate it when people keep the mic 3 feet from their mouth, I don't care what kind of mic it is.

[@rickjudgejr1435]

Are the D104 still junk or are they made better now

[@ShainAndrews]

Yes

[@overdaedgebroadcasting2220]

Why does teh SRA-198 distort, When going close on a 18 wxst II?

[@walcottradio]

The most likely reason is that someone has removed the mod limiter in your Cobra 18, which is resulting in over-modulation. Other types of "mod kits" or "swing kits" would do the same thing, produce over-modulation. Alternatively, you may have component failure. A stock Cobra 18 and an SRA-198 mic should work perfectly fine together.

[@overdaedgebroadcasting2220]

funny thing is everything is stock I bought the radio brand new, Also my brother bought the mic brand new.

[@walcottradio]

Did you buy the equipment from us?

[@KiloWatt304]

@@overdaedgebroadcasting2220 most likely impedance mismatch the cobra 18 radio uses an electret capacitive stock mike element . modifications need to be done to match the sra198 mike and set the frequency curve of the output

[@DieselTrucker2018]

Scott Johnson professes holding the mic 5 to 6" away from your mouth. I like your way better.

[@drewsmith6066]

Is this a power mike ..like will it enhance the audio ?

[@charlesbatsold31]

No. The ranger is just a noise cancelling. Works awesome though. What i use qith my stryker 447 that i bought from these guys

[@einkanal7149]

Of course the road devil is a power mike.

[@drewsmith6066]

@@einkanal7149 No it's not

[@einkanal7149]

@@drewsmith6066 Yes, it is. You have no idea. "Volume Control Boosts Power and Amplifies Microphone"

[@govbentley2011]

You will find out real quick if you have a bad ground. The mic will sting like a hornet.

[@Blueknight1960]

I always cut that piece of rubber off because it'll leave a black mark on your lip.

[@KiloWatt304]

lol after time that cheap rubber bumper does rub off and break down

[@craig_sez8534]

Try cleaning it...

[@chadrides914]

I’ve had 636’s in trucks for 5 years and the rubber never broke down whatsoever. What are you doing wrong bro?

[@icebergslim287]

I never knew

[@SoldierJ613]

I hear guys eating their mike and you can't understand them

[@johntaylor6885]

Thats been my experience hold it to your mouth and sound muffled like you have a mouth full of crap

[@craig_sez8534]

Likely a poorly tuned radio..

[@shanebrier363]

That is incorrect. Do not put on your moth. You will sound like you have mouthful of gravel when you talk. Hold it so it’s thumbs length away and no further. Farther away you can not hear the user.

[@Shanedog76]

if your Cb. is peaked,tuned and has more power than stock, then you don't want to have your mouth close to the mic!
