    Hi Peter,
    This looks like a nice, low-cost modification for improving the "punchiness" (now there's a RF engineering term) of your SSB transmission.
    I did similar years ago via the much more expensive route, viz. the OBP audio speech processor (the original one, not the revised version) with Heil insert. It certainly improved the FT-817's performance, as evidenced in the VK/Trans-Tasman contests at the time.

    A definite improvement there Peter, kind of reminds me how we used to replace the stock microphone inserts on CB's with surplus inserts yielded from old rotary dial telephone hand pieces, this practice boosted audio punch but obviously didn't work for all voices, I wonder how one of those components would compare?

    Hello, Peter! I have one doubt! About the electrolytic capacitor... on the diagram, the positive side is connected on the switch but on the pictures, is the negative side. Which is the correct one?

    What about a speech compressor? Will this mic mod along with a speech compressor work ?

    Why Yaesu doesn’t put such type of microphone in mh31?

    Can i use a LAN CABLE (8pin) instead of the official cable that was broken?

    • @vk3ye
      @vk3ye  3 роки тому +1

      It should work provided all wires are straight and are not crossed over.

    • @mrtonicsvls3624
      @mrtonicsvls3624 3 роки тому

      @@vk3ye I confirm straight cable and not crossed.

    Hi, , after this modification, the existing 680 ohm resistor, is still in the circuit?

    The cardboard obviously has a hole in the middle it holds the electret not blocks it

    That's funny. A Video about improvement of a mic and at the same time the most horrible audio of a youtube video I watched the last couple of days

    And take that stupid steel weight out of the microphone as well
