Charlie,

That's precisely as crappy as they ever sounded as new.

You indeed could hear them on the move in the old M-151A1 Jeep, but they 
were never intended to be high fidelity.

The AN/GRC-46 didn't sound worth a tinker's darn, and the microphones 
were about worth the blasting cap to blow them apart.

Think in terms of the old PRC-25 or PRC-77.  Sounds just alike.

All we were supposed to do was communicate.  Getting the coordinates 
correct for a fire mission was necessary, sound great didn't matter.

Feeding it with the proper input Z,  they are very 'tinny', no bass response at all.  They are supposedly a 300 - 7 Khz  speaker, but was wondering if that hard cone kills all the base.  So, anybody that has one, do they sound as freq. restricted to you as me? Or do I have to bad speakers?  Nice to use on CW, they are almost an audio filter, but on AM, audio quality is not good, but I think the way it sounds would be a plus in a very loud environment.
