This time something different and comes from UR6QW in the Ukraine. Available for Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu it is a sound equaliser and compressor. Priced at a rather competitive £67 plus shipping it also has a mike low volume amplifier ability so can raise the level of even a quiet mike. Power is obtained directly from the radio.

And who will try one of these on an Optima, Grant II or otherwise? Watch this space for videos. What is sure is that a W2IHY 8 Band makes a heap of difference to a President SSB Radio…
Hi Simon
Interesting product – you don’t have a link where I could buy it from do you ? Looking at one for me personally.
