[Icom] Seeking better audio from my IC-746

Mon, 09 Dec 2002 21:03:20 +0000

    GO TO RADIO SHACK AND BUY A SUB-WOOFER 8" 300-3000 CPS FREQ RESPONSE, 
COST ABOUT $15.. BUILD OR BUY AN AIR TIGHT CARPETED WOODEN ENCLOSURE ABOUT 1 
FOOT BY 2 FEET.. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE SOUND. VERY LITTLE HIGH FREQ HISS 
ON THE LOW BANDS..  ADD AN AM-COMM BASE DSP UNIT AND 160 METERS WILL BE LIKE 
2 METER FM WITH THE SQUELCH CLOSED UNTIL A SIGNAL APPEARS... UN- 
BELIEVABLE....   JIM / W0HFG
