Ok I know that cutting the amc limiter can cause splatter ect especially with a power mic. But what I was wondering was what about cutting it and only using a stock mic? Would this cause splatter, Would it improve modulation on the stock mic? What is everyone opinion on this and what are your experiences on this.. The radio I was thinking of doing this on is a Cobra 148 gtl... I would prefer running a stock mic anyway cause I prefer it on sideband but would like a little more umph for AM without going to a power mic....

Drifter 8291,
WELCOME TO THE COPPER FORUM!
Now for my Opinion, I have never seen any reason to Cut or Remove the AMC Limiter in any radio.
That is the one Modification I have never done and will never do to any radio.
If you want more modulation add a Power Mic and adjust your modulation to around 80 to 90%.

if you feel the need to do it, why don't you wire it to a switch? the dimmer switch or anl/nb switch are possibilities if you don't want to add an extra, but if you have channel mod done, what's another switch? this way you can have the option to use it or not......... |

Ok I am back. I had removed R131 but didn't really like the results so I put it back and I tried a different mod. I replaced R124 with a 1/4 watt 4.7k and R126 with a 1/4 watt 2.2k. I like the results with this mod. I made contact with a town 25 miles away with the straight radio and the stock mic was told my audio was clean and clear and load but not distorted. I have gotten what I was looking for with my stock mic as I was not wanting to run a power mic. |
