Great on FM, but SSB has 'issues'
Review by
G1WZM
I've one of these in my Land Rover Defender. Its always been noisy in the cab, despite best efforts with soundproofing, so being able to fit the mic in a place that points right where it most needs to is a real bonus. There's no noise cancelling capability built in, but there is a pre-amp.
The pre-amp is rather sensitive, and I need the built in pot 'just on' with my FT-857, and even then it's much much louder on FM than stock mic, to the point that it drives the radio into clipping (not a good kind of loud). Once it's set up for FM, it's brilliant. Easy QSO's on local repeaters and FM simplex.
On SSB it's a different matter. That pre-amp picks up RF and I've tried everything over the last 5 years to solve it, including changing the leads, decoupling, RF chokes and ferrites - all to no avail. The only solution for SSB is to NOT use it.
Its great for handsfree chatter. Forget it for mobile HF, simply not viable.
