    I hate to see someone spend money on that Ranger SRA-198 microphone when they already have an Electro-Voice 602T in their possession.
    I think you are going to be disappointed

    Then to properly determine the quality of the mike you should perform a mike element sweep. Anything less and you are allowing human subjection to enter in.

    Even with the world's greatest microphone it's only as good as the limitations of the transmitter.

    Actually no.

    The limitations are the audio chain but it starts with the mic and what purpose the mic is serving.

    Kc0 has a good point and you are wrong about high fidelity, there is a bug difference between communications clarity and high fidelity, one reason why a mission critical setup will not have a high fidelity (you can call it pa or studio grade) mic as its input device but communication grade mic.

    Got to go, will tell you more later.

    That is a fair statement. As I have zero issues with you. I honestly think Mark is a good tech, I just have an opinion... That he may be a tad stressed He loves the working on CB stuff but he is a one man band.
    Phone calls shipping ordering recieving etccc etcc are also part of it. Maybe he needs to hire someone to help with the other crap while he tunes the radios.

    I tried to tell him he needs to stay out of the Limelight and just hire someone to be his face to the public and answer phones.

    Could? He is doing that. And it seems it is a full time job. I half kid RP about it here all the time. I just got my 955 back in the truck. Nothing is, was, wrong with it. Haven't gotten to use it yet.

    According to this article even the best ham radios won't pass above 3500 hz frequency response. I guess that explains why they always sound kind of flat like they're missing something in the audio.

    I wonder how Mark consistently gets over 4,000 Hertz to pass through the audio chain on every radio that he works on?
    Supposedly working on radios is so easy that even a caveman could do it but no one wants to
    Offer step by step instructions on how to accomplish that type of frequency response.
