Well folks,finally after 2 months wait my boomset from Yamaha,arrived this
afternoon.
It look and feel very professional,the headset is big enough to cover my ears
completeley,it isolate me from the outside world,they feel confortable.
When I plug it into my K3 front panel phones jack,my first impression was WOW!!
this sound great,for years I was using the Sony MDR-V150 that are sold in local
audio stores for $20 and I thougt they were the best in the market,they really
sound wonderful with any radio but these Yamaha leaves in the dust my
old Sony,the audio quality is awsome,if you hear AM broadcast stations the
"lows" are deep solid without any distorsion,even on ESSB If you find some one
transmitting that wide,you enjoy that sweet sound.
Now comes the mic,it needs 3V DC power,it comes with a little plastic case
where you insert a couple of AAA batteries to feed the mic,then I connected it
to the rear mic input and trough the quick config menu set it to "rPH" and
bingo,nice TX audio,the gain is much higher than any of all the mics I have
been using with my K3,so I had to lower the mic gain to just 10 and comp to
same level,VOX works very easy with this mic,I set lastly the mic EQ and my
audio goes very well balanced from 100 to 3000 hz.
Its 00:30 UTC in SE FL now,I am on 40M if anyone will like to hear me on the
air with it I will be available all night,just send me a direct email.
I can tell that for just $38 this is a great investment that will put Heil to
think about how to improve their mics or at least make them more afordable.
If you have not order one of these,don't hesitate,do it.
