Nice setup, I like the mixer, used a Behringer VMX100 Mixer years ago, liked it cause the box had room to install my microphone cord through it and jacks on the outside. Using Heil stuff now and tweaked the radio to make the sound I wanted. You ever get on SSB try me on 38 or 39LSB, I'm usually on.

Very Interesting ,,,, but as a sideband operator I find the musical carriers unnecessary (hard to hear the operator or other stations DXing ) But everybody has their own thing they like to do. So good on ya it's more than I've done LOL . Just have a few radios stacked up 2 power supplies and an amp. but my radio sounds nice and loud clean and clear. Bman/Dave :biggrin:

Very cool man, seems like you are getting some good results. One thing though, the Shure SM58 is not a condenser (capacitive) microphone, therefore no need for the 48 volt phantom supply. Keep up the good work bud and would love to hear you on the air.
