Update: In now running a RFX-95 AMP with a Predator 10k Antenna snd can easily talk 20 miles on a good day. The Road Devil with the Amp scares the crap out of other drivers as to how loud and clear it is. I think the Road Devil Mic was a good plus on my ser up.
Great video as I am undecided on going with a power mic. This video makes me lean towards the Road Devil. I just had my radio peaked and turned. The Mosfet was replaced in the process and I'm running no extra power amps. Tech said CB was swinging 20-30 watts maybe. What is your opinion and especially adding thr power mic. I have a Cobra 29 LTD. Thanks, Ricky
Ricky Willis I got one and they don’t seem to pair well. Sometimes the mic will whine and seems to interact with the antenna. You might have a different turn out though.
@@highrevryan2288 K40 very nice mobile antennae i have a President Colorado and a 9' whip which i can't find. I think i left it at a job where i was using it to pull cables through a wall.
for vehicle use I recommend the 636L, if you want to use a power mic the Road Devil would be my second choice. but this would be for vehicle use only. if you run a base station at home I would use a mic that really modulates, like a D104. one other thing if you run a power mic, amp and try to use talkback on the radio it will not work, you will get feedback, just remember that. keep the talkback off.
I didn't know which to get so I got both the astatic road devil and the ranger SRA198, you can't have too many mics I guess. *stock cobra 29LXBT *Stryker 955 built by HD. -L.C NM
Are you on am or ssb? On fm the level of the mic won't effect power output and might distort. Saying that i have an astatic teardrop which has tone and volume controls.
Lol yeah I probably should of turned the squelch up. A lot of white noise from the radio. That’s an old video. I probably should make some new better videos. :)
Well this is completely misleading! A mic any mic WILL NOT INCREASE POWER OUTPUT PERIOD. Modulation yes, power NO! Sorry but this is a fairy dust experiment.

I mean I’m using a 40 year old K40 antenna so. I’m sure it will be different with you.

Also, if you have a noisy ride you need to take care that the road noise isn't being amplified by your power mic.
that's true
In the future could you turn the squelch to get rid of the static?
Switch on power mic raises impedance.... factory mics will be almost 2000 ohms more than a dynamic

Red devil has to be held vertically when keying up

I am on AM
Damn dude you have a lot of noise in the background

104 is a Great mic not built the best but it’s loud. Gets noisy sometimes but nothing wd40 won’t fix
