Overview - UR6QW CB Ham Radio 8 Band Equalizer Compressor Noise Gate Echo

[@breakerbroke23]

I bought on in1998, used it for 1 week on a couple different radios. Let's just say that it has been in its box ever since. It is of good quality, just not something that you need. Just plug the mic into your radio and talk :) Buy one, you'll see.

[@bigbone88]

We need good radios,not toys.I do not even use mic amp :D

[@hilldwler420]

If it’s that bad sell it get ur money back.

[@hillbillytarzan]

This is for people who like to have their audio sound almost professional. Some ppl have a voice that works great with a standard mic, while 90% don't. It's fun to see just how good you can make a cheap mic sound, but if you want really good sound, get a studio type mic. You'll be surprised at how well your cb can sound.

[@lambrettadave7]

Glad to see a new video from you. Keep up with the articles of new or used equipment/radios

I have version 4 without the noise gate(purchased new via eBay) using a Kenwood MC-90 into an RCI-2970N2. Been getting glowing audio reports.

[@TheJ3builders]

these things are made well, on a PCB with surface mount components. The noise gate is worth the price in itself. Pair with a quality studio microphone and your rig will sound unbelievable. My only complaint is I would like to see one that has a headphone jack for audio output monitoring.

[@TheJ3builders]

@stangmaster 2 I didn't ask if it was easy to add, or how I could monitor my audio in a half assed way. I simply said it would be nice to have as a factory feature. Also, if you break the seal on this unit or modify it in any way, the warranty is void, So go pound sand.

[@PhoenixRising251]

I agree, I'd really like to have a headphone jack on mine.

I plan to get one of these when $$ becomes available. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

I got the same box for my Icom with the mic and headphone jacks for a headset and ptt in the back for my foot switch I run a behringer B1 into the 3.5mm MIC jack and it sounds killer. The Icom SM20 sounds good plugged right in also. The only thing I dont like is I couldn't turn the gate off 100%. Its on a bit all the time. Other than that, the EQ works really good. Not sure what one breakerbroke had but the UR6QW version here has only been out a few years, no way this was out in 1998

[@thestonerguy5276]

Thanks, I've been wondering about products like this, and the difference in audio etc. - now I'm informed 👍

[@butterbean4195]

perfect timing, ive been wanting to get one of these for my 4 pin cobra mic`s plus my older ham radios that i have adapted for 4 pin cobra with nothing but turner mics. think you have me sold on it. thanks 73s

[@kkristopher7413]

Hey kids, do you want to be clean, clear and noticed on the radio? Are you jealous about your neighbor because he has a D104 and sounds real loud and of course is cranked to the max so it's very raspy and sounds like garbage? The D104 is a great microphone but often misused. For best results with any radio to monitor your transmit audio, you should set up another radio next to your main station and use headphones to hear yourself. If your into audio tweaks and adjustments with transmit audio without opening your own radio, this is for you. You will sound as good as you can with the limitations of your radio and microphone. I have other brands of this very similar item and I use it every time. I can now not go back to just a radio and microphone, because you will sound way too good to just go back to sounding like a 1907 telephone. Your turning your radio into a high quality sounding station, if you compare without a unit like this. Different radios and microphones sound different. Have fun and experiment with the radio hobby.

[@zooyawk4526]

The problem here is that the rig used doesn't operate @ 3khz (or more) wide. On transceivers (mostly ham) that operate @ 3khz wide or more the results will be much better. Especially with the lows. 73

[@5940-c7w]

Zoo Yawk, If I understand you correctly. the transceiver needs that bandwidth of 3 khz wide in order to hear the difference. Then my question to you sir is there truly a difference in terms of having a hi fi sound? Thank WRo0959

[@GroundControl204]

Here’s the mixer with a more in depth review and plus modulation comparison of a CB mic with the mixer Versus a pro studio mic with the mixer.👇🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qafYk5iwm7WNbpY

[@spankypool1345]

What do you use to power the unit. Guess I need the exact thing needed to power it

[@GroundControl204]

Just a normal 12 volt DC power supply.

[@lt1caprice57l]

I'm still waiting for a box like this that has *true reverb* instead of echo.

[@buzzsah]

Well worth the 130$$$$ I made a few back in 94-95, they went for 249 back then.

[@bbugin4u]

I would like to hear it in AM too.. Nice job

[@donald1meyer]

QUESTION?? I have watched several videos and read forums. They all talk about the 3.5mm jack in front and say it is for condenser mics but a few videos say NO phantom power. I will use an old stock mic for PTT and disable the element. Will the 3.5mm jack power my BM-800 condenser mic??? That is all I have for now. I just don't want to buy something and then have to buy something else to use it.

[@cesarll5057]

Hi, could you share with us the manual setup? Tanks

[@alessandrozax]

Where can i find the user manuals ? Let me know, R3gars .

[@kennethburtelson2607]

So this requires a brick power supply? How about a plug in wall DC to AC?

[@TheDarcyhorn]

Where should the mic gain on transceiver be run?

[@johnnyd4049]

Plug in a studio mic and it really makes a huge difference

[@samiam5557]

Sounds good, I'd like to buy one! 😃 PS: Happy New Year!!! 😃

[@creekrunner2078]

Great test thx

[@topshelf4176]

I would love to hear this on am

[@kencannabisgrows7988]

does it work on a cb radio i was told it would not work i have a bearcat 980 ssb

[@cbradiomagazine]

Yes I’ve used it with a 980

[@jdemerich]

Show the power supply please

[@huallacanes100]

How can i power this EQ in a Semi Truck? Any suggestions? Thanks

[@cbradiomagazine]

There is a new tiny digital version out that uses usb 5v to power. Video coming soon!

[@rallypoint1]

@@cbradiomagazine That’s great!! Is it out yet?

[@TheDarcyhorn]

Can you run an amplifier while using this?

[@cbradiomagazine]

Yes, we tested it while running an amplifier.

[@dj_saint]

Is that a headphone jack on the front?

[@cbradiomagazine]

No it's a mic input jack. ur6qw.jimdofree.com/eq-v-6/

[@kevinkimmerling3432]

That is neat.

[@SDS-1]

I run the old version on my anytone 666

[@ScottsRadios]

It sounds great vs stock sound of radio. I use one with a studio 🎤 and the results are fantastic on my Ranger 2995DXCF.

[@gjm8461]

We’re is the plug for the studio mic ......and why didn’t he mention that

[@ScottsRadios]

@@gjm8461 Mine has a XLR input on the back of the EQ. Some versions may not have it. It just depends on how you plan on using it. The seller who designs these eq's will accommodate you for various styles of setup with his EQ.

[@gjm8461]

@@ScottsRadios .....I will check to see it they have that option....thanks

[@ScottsRadios]

@@gjm8461 My EQ has a PTT Jack on the back also so you can use a hand switch or foot switch for your PTT. My EQ also has a standard four-pin Cobra mic Jack on the front so you can use any microphone wired for that pinout as well.

[@gjm8461]

@@ScottsRadios .... u have to key down the PTT to use the studio mic at the same time
