I bought a Galaxy Melaka for $199 a month or so ago, did the 11 meter conversion, tuned it up, added a workman 5 tone Roger Beep and a Galaxy echo robot board. I also added talkback by cutting one side of D80 and putting a switch in between the cut, I actually got that mod from Galaxy. Anyhow everything works perfectly when I use stock mikes, but when I use power mikes they ALL sound very tenny and low, especially when I use a D104 handheld or desk mike. They sound low and more pityful than my stock mikes...and if I turn them up to be louder the radio won't stayed keyed, as soon as I talk it unkeys. Also microphones with roger beeps or any after key ETS don't keep the radio keyed after releasing the PTT, so you don't hear the beeps, it happens with all ETS tone mikes like my echo max 2000 and my solorcon!!! Before I added the echo and roger beep internally, power mikes still sounded bad, but never unkeyed, and the roger beep mikes worked. I see behind the mike socket there are three capacitors connecting all the pins together then to the chasses ground and no wire on the reciece pin, does anyone know what would happen if I removed the caps or is there something I'm missing??? Everything works fine with any stock mike though, all internal mods are correctly done and checked over and over, I get 90-95% Modulation and the internal echo and roger beep work fine!!! But I don't care for stock mikes, HELP PLEASE!!!!!
