Yuck! :)

I was headed the other way late in the afternoon. Up The Gorge.

That is, if you mean the wreck on the westbound side just past the IH40/IH81 split. Car fire.

I don’t recall bad radios. There was a base station offering help on how to get around if one was northbound onto 81.

Of course, I wasn’t sitting still in traffic. And
Digital Audio Signal Processing sure cleans things up.

And, yeah, I was on the 885 Beartracker listening to both Scanner and 19.

Relayed info a few times once past the split. A number of thanks (the RM ITALY KL203 turned on). I was surprised by how few had their radios on. Knoxville is ALWAYS a problem (time loss).

I missed it. Left Cherokee about 11am and went to Charlotte

 

You telling me that the "fingernails on a chalkboard" Isn't the same sound as "loud and proud"?

 

I laugh alot when i hear some asking for a radio chk and its muffled or sounds like yer nose is plugged while talkin in a box with your hands cupped over your mouth and you will ALWAYS get some who says "Loud n Proud" or versions of that....
Ill come back and ask what he is listening to cause it sounds like #### to me,then it all hits the fan..lol

 

Yeah, even when there is a squeal in it( not hetrodyne )... "Sounds good driver"!

 

I was running US30 last week in Idaho toward Wyoming... I could see headlight of another truck behind me some distance. At one point it started snowing... Then got worse amd worse. Another tuck approached going the other way so I keyed up with "West bound got it on?" He replied and I asked about weather and road conditions behind him... After the conversation I heard "#### good sounding radio ya got there" I replied "Which one?" He said "Yours, made me jump when you came on. Sounds like you're sitting in my sleeper." That made me feel good. I like sounding crisp and clear... I run a Cobra 148 GTL, on older one with the side mic port. No fancy antenna or coax... Just the stick stuff on a 2017 Volvo... Maybe some day I will upgrade the antenna and coax (maybe even throw in a couple pills) to try and get a little better range... But for now I'm satisfied with the 3 to 6 mile range I'm getting.

 

A good antenna/coax will make a huge difference...Might be a lil bit of a grounding issue as well but it wouldnt take much to get alot more..

 

A little bit of old-fashioned analog audio signal processing works also.
