Lon, What does this new mic record? Me or the radio's receive?
Moderator Note!
ANYTHING that you want to record for 20 seconds.

Great! Not a big cb toy fan but I think I'm gonna get one of these. Would be perfect for radio checks to play back someone curious how they sound. Or let someone in DX land know how it sounds when their smokin the cornfield!

This mic does not record off the radio so you can play it back. It is another type of sound toy and you can record 20 seconds of sound with the proper record device you buy that plugs into side of mike. You can record from your PC but it is tricky because you have to have sound set just right or it sounds like junk. I have had one for 3 or 4 years and it is not worth the trouble you have to go through.

Really? Well that stinks! I thought it might hook up to a pc with a usb cord like that. Still interesting though. If I could get it to sound good I could record my world famous Hotwire Mobile DX call and save my breath!

Does anyone know how to record off your computer? Mine didnt come with any instructions. I figured out how to play the sounds just can't record them. |

801,
From information supplied by WORKMAN in my REVIEW that I am doing on the: Superstar DM-5000 Tornado Microphone
Start by connecting the PC2 cord you received with the microphone, to your computer.
Unplug your external speakers from your computer.
Insert plug #1 into the jack you previously had the external speakers in.
Plug the external speakers into the panel jack that is on the PC2 cord.
Plug #2 is then plugged into the jack on the side of your DM5000 microphone.
PLUG #1
PLUG #2
Choose the Sound Byte you wish to record.
Play it using the media player of your choice.
The Windows Media Player will do just fine. Play the Sound Byte a couple of times, get use to the time it takes for the Sound Byte to begin playing. This will be very important later on.
Place a 9-volt battery in the DM-5000 microphone.
Push the RED button on the side of the microphone in until it clicks on. You have now turned on the power to the toy.
Plug #2 gets plugged into the panel jack on the side of the microphone as noted above. Be certain it is inserted all the way in.
NOTE!
To be certain of a good contact in an older microphone that the connectors may have oxidized, rotate the plug back and forth a couple of times.
Having the Sound Byte already cued up, take the RED push button on the PC2 cord in one hand.
Use your mouse to start the Sound Byte and push the RED button at the same time, hold the red button down for the entire time the Sound Byte is playing.
When the Sound Byte is over, release the RED button.
Push on the RED button located on the side of the DM-5000 Microphone to turn the power off to the toy in the microphone. This MUST BE DONE BEFORE you remove plug #2 from the side of the microphone.
NOTE!
If you do not turn off the power to the toy, it will erase what you recorded.
Please note that it may be necessary to experiment with various volume levels on your media player. In fact some people have to turn their media players almost off, in order to achieve the perfect sound level on playback. You can turn off the speakers as much as needed as this will not effect the level of the recording. Be sure to check the volume of the recording compared to your voice before you leave home. You may not be happy with the results if they levels are too far off.
A E01-06025 T747 Mic and Echo Board Tester like below from Copper Electronics is what I am using to verify that the toy and voice levels are equal.
using for the review and it works great.

CLOSING NOTE!
The quality/type of sound card in your computer makes a MAJOR difference.
Stock sound card in 808xyl's computer STINKS Sound Blaster sound card in mine sounds GREAT!
Hope this help's,
