X-treme eSSB Audio FORUM

Had some difficulty ordering the microphone. Ordered it new at a web shop. When it arrived it was clear that it was "repacked" and than sent to me. I returned it to the shop, when I pay new prices I expect new/unused products. Got a refund and didn't have to pay shipping costs for the return goods. ...

OK, so better not use the Service Menu, that's what I thought.
The 870 has the C131 mod and receives audio from the rear already.
Tnx for the help. Best way to improve the audio further is external "gadgets".

Cheers,

What would be the best ESSB setting(s) in the TS 870 menu. Menu option 29 set to 3000 Hz is obvious but are there more settings to improve ESSB TX and/or RX?

Googled some more, many audio fora (Gearslutz etc) give it a thumbs up and state that this one is better than the Rode NTK and just a little more expensive. http://www.rodemic.com/mics/k2 Placed the order, will leave some feedback after the tube switch has been made and the mike is hooked up on the ...

Anyone tried this microphone? http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul04/articles/rodek2.htm http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/K2Tube/reviews Very positive reviews, best thing is to replace the tube (surprise :wink: ), and I believe the E88CC can be used, I have some of those lying around, so nice c...

i bid upto 600 dollars for a friend and just missed out on it he was devastated he didnt win the auction .Has anyone got a dsp for sale thanks in advance john Bargains on Ebay are very rare, most bids are placed seconds before the auction ends.

11(Audio +) Pin 12(Audio Ground / Shield), also you will need to do PTT with pin 9 and 12 (footswitch) this will mute the front mic audio input. I also have the pin 8 and 12 connected (Ground). Thanks for the info, I was planning on using the back ACC2 on pin 11 (+) and 12 (-) for audio and the fro...

Thanks for your help. I clearly been looking in the wrong places. Tried ACC2 and ACC 2 on Ebay etc, but couldn't find a match. Now I have some addresses.

Spent a lot of time searching the net before I managed to find/buy an ACC2 connector. The shopowner mailed that Icom had a similar connector that was cheaper, costs were 14 euro ($ 17) the Kenwood ACC2 was 35 euro ($ 43). I opted for the Kenwood version. An audiochain is as strong as its weakest lin...

Been watching the auction, wow, 44 bids and the last one was 644 US dollars. Haven't got a clue what these babies cost when Kenwood sold them new, but there still is a lot of demand, Kenwood could make some money if they started production again. I played with the idea of buying an 850 but the fact ...

Hi VooDoo Guru, Tnx for your explanation. Googled some more on DRM. Well I'll start with the C131 mod first and take one step at the time before I try to run. I'll stay away from the 4KC INRAD mod, that is no use I saw in your other topic. The 870 is under construction now. Needs some tuning up and ...

There it says: "an external connector that I can plug into for the 12KHz IF" What is the benefit of this mod?

The rig needs some fine tuning and browsing this site for additional info helped a lot, tnx. Will aply the C131 mod and was wondering if ano...
