"Jack Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi,
I was surprised when I read so many opinions that agree with mine. Turn that blankity blank processor off. It sounds horrible. Just sit back and let that mellow Drake sound make everyone that hears you wonder what you know that Heil doesn't.

It sure doesn't need amplification. I suspect that when the CBers discovered it, that Astatic didn't try to enlighten them, just lightened them of their $. I've been using amplified (and un-) D-104's for many yrs on many rigs, but keep the gain way down, and make sure to replace the battery occasionally, when it's voltage goes weak, the gain goes up. I get good audio reports from the BA crowd, incl. those who know my natural (foggy) voice. As in all things, discretion is the better part of valor. 73, Al, W8UT New Bern, NC BoatAnchors appreciated here http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/ http://www.hammarlund.info ----- Original Message ----- From: "john" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > At 05:04 PM 8/4/04 -0500, Jim Shorney wrote: > >That preamp that comes built in to the TUG8 stand (note: 'D104' refers > >to the head/element only) is an abomination designed for CBers to > >create splatter with, and should be destroyed at the earliest > >opportunity to reduce the population in the wild.
