There are a few options with regard to setting up the microphone not only for your voice, but also the best punch. In the menu. You can move through to mic eq and select one of those features, I believe there's 1 through 7. I selected 6. I get very good audio reports with those settings. You can really fine-tune the mic. If you go into the proper memory settings and use tone two on the back of the mic, in my opinion. Thanks for another excellent video.
Great video 📹 again Fred, appreciate your demonstrations. The ft-450D is a great 'workhorse' on air, I find the cw filtering fantastic and yes stick with the md 100 🎤 best 73's 😉👍
Hi Fred,CT3574,just been oozing at your video on the md100 against the mh31 mic,excellent mate,now converted,a must for my 450d,thanks fred from bev in Norfolk.👍👍
Hi Fred Woke up this morning switched the radio on and loads of European stations on .555 sadly it dropped out earlier on this afternoon hopefully the skip will return at the weekend, thanks for sharing by the way 73s
if you go to your radio settings on your 450D to mic EQ.. and use number 4 you would find your microphone MH-31 will work a lot lot better have done that test myself ..73s from nz
Another great video Fred, always good to see your tests. I wonder if Yaesu does another handheld mic that works as well as the desk mic? That would be nice. Two comments: If I'm not mistaken the FT450 has a talkback feature that allows you to listen to your own audio, handy for getting the audio just right. Second: YOU really should get yourself a Ham Ticket you know, your missing tons of stations you could be working with that 450 and not just be stuck on 27 megs :-)
Hello fred just setting up after a few years do u know much about yeasu ft 847 like the look of the radio or the yeasu 897 just wonder which radio u like kenwood ,ts 450 looks good at the min only got 2m 70cm DMR & 10meter cb, would like to work 12 20 40 meters been watching ur videos looks good stuff 73s Matt from clee hill shropshire
I ve not actual experience using a 847 or 897. Tbh i prefer the larger HF radios like the Yaesu 950. Having menu based radio's is all well and good but not easy to change things when you in the middle of a QSO.
Hiya Fred :-) A great video. I am New to Your channel and are finding Your videos useful.Your MD100 mic seems a great addition to accompany Your Yaesu 450D.I have been looking at going in for a Amateur Radio License.I have seen a Yaesu FD990 { The old BIG Brother of the 450D ) for £750 Plus a MD100 mic and a good speaker.Is the BIG Brother FD990 any good? Or, should I get the 450D..?Be it the FD990 is a huge box and the 450D is much smaller, maybe just compacting ALL that is in the FD990 into 450D?Thanks for taking the time to read my long-Winded question :-)I have an Icom IC - 7000 I can put into service... But, after seeing Your Yaesu 450D... I fancy it too :-)
Hi Fred. Firstly as iam not trained as a amatuer my answer is going to be a bit restricted comparing the features on the two radios. I will see if my friend Awesome Dave can pop by and maybe give you a few more details. What i can say is that its going to be the old question of new v used. The 450D you can buy brand new with 12 months peace of mind. You can also have it wide banded at time of purchase for full coverage inc 11 meters. One downside of the 450D (like most modern gear) is that its very menu based and this can be tiresome for adjusting the TX power etc. The older equipment had a lot more buttons and knobs. The 450D is a very good radio esp on SSB and with the MD100 mike the audio is very good indeed.
@@CB-RADIO-UK Thank you so much very getting back to Me. Yes, of course, it makes sense to buy new. Very grateful for ANY advice, should You seek further from the wonderful folk in the airwaves 😊
Thank you so much Fred for taking the time to reply. Yes. The 450D is certainly one set to consider.Many videos of course cover my questions here on UA-cam. You have a good way with words and plain, fun English :-) Cheers :-)
In truth i like the MH31 better as it feels nicer in the hand. However at he time i got better reports from the clone mic even if it did feel a little cheaper.

It works really well with the 450D

Lets hope so. Others have reported a mini lift on over the last couple of days.
I sometimes use a MH-1b8 i get good reports from that hand mic, also use the MD -100 and use that the most... keep up the good work Nige 26CT015
Thanks buddy
Morning Fred mate try out the md 200 base Mike that's what I am using

What switch settings did you have on the base of the MD100 Fred ?
Hi. Here you go ua-cam.com/video/4qEN3Wfez54/v-deo.html
Try the vk3ye mod condencer mic
I use a genuine Vertex MH-67A8J as an upgrade to the stock microphone.
What mic was Dave using with that Roger chime are the end of his transmissions?
Cannot rem exactly but Dave used to run a KP0 532.
@@CB-RADIO-UK thanks. I rarely hear Roger beeps on the amateur bands here in the USA.

Hi, Fred. Nice video, good of you to revisit the original mic. Between the MH31 and the Chinese mic, which do you prefer? regards Rob, 19CT019
In truth i like the MH31 better as it feels nicer in the hand. However at he time i got better reports from the clone mic even if it did feel a little cheaper.
Hi Fred, can that m100 be used without the stand.
73's Alan CT2661
I think there is a plug on the base. Not sure Alan i will look next time iam in the shack and let you know.
I think there is a 8 pin connector at the back of the mic so i guess you could use it on a boom mic stand with another lead.
Ok Fred thanks I will buy one and see what I can do with it.
73's Alan CT2661
Hey Fred, you need to stop waiving your hands around so much!!!!
LOL i cant its part of the channel now they are famous.
Far better if the radio eq is switched off on thus radio m0mpc
Ничего непонятно.
