Title: D-104 on a Disposable Radio Post by: nq5t on June 20, 2014, 10:26:55 PM I don't know this ham, and this is certainly not a personal comment. I have a gut level bias against anything having to do with plastic disposable radios in general, but putting a D-104 on one -- the mic is at least 4 times bigger than the radio -- just seems so basically WRONG on so many levels ;D

It just didn't seem right using it there :D :D :D Title: Re: D-104 on a Disposable Radio Post by: KD6VXI on June 21, 2014, 02:48:09 PM One of my most complimented setups was a D104 fed 5 volts. This was run straight into the mic jack of my laptop. Speaker out fed a high level transistor iced series modulator. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
NOBODY believed that it was a D104, especially with the lack of screaming tonal quality and smooth freq response. Replaced the battery and it got the familiar D104 sound. I did turn the gain pot Way down (from almost all the way up to less than a quarter turn opened). Does the input impedance of a darlington amp increase as the gain is turned up? Only thing I could figure. --Shane KD6VXI |
