Why do you use echo?

Where are your settings mike/woreout ? I don't like the repeating echo and it just seems like there is always more going out than what you here in your talkback. I just want a fuller sound not a echoing sound.

 

In my old age after all the straight pipes on all the trucks over the years I can not understand anyone with the echo turned on any radio.
I just tell them if you want to talk to me turn off the rattle box or I can't understand what you are trying to say.
Most turn it off others don't some tell me I am just being a jerk.

 

Then get a compression mike. Something like the Turner Plus 3

Sounds like some of y'all need to go get y'all's ham ticket.

 

I use a roadking 56 mic, i run my mic gain just cracked not even a quarter turn. Echo and speed the same, I turn it all the way off and just lift it off the stop

 

actually nothing wrong with not growing up but the echo has got to go.

 

I ain't gonna grow up. I'm an echo kid.

 

No, a touch of reverb will give the audio a bit more "presence" when heard over a clean, noise free system, like a properly set up sound system in an auditorium, or commercial broadcast radio. It does, however, reduce intelligibility. That's why speech reverb is set a LOT lower than reverb on music.

Echo is something else entirely. Any echo is distracting and fatiguing to the listener. You are, effectively, interfering with yourself. I heard a driver say that he used echo to make his signal "more interesting". My thought was that what he was saying was supposed to do that...

 

Every radio is different, even if they have the same chassis. On my Connex the mic gain is almost at 2 o'clock. I run both the echo/time (or whatever you call it) knobs at around 9 o'clock. Most folks don't think I have my echo on if I ask about it. I had a Echo Max hooked to a HR2510 running thru a Maco 750 as my last base that could be real fun to play with!
