The second link is supposed to take you here: 505 Smackdown 2.
So there's some more overdriven, distorted radio at 2.6 kw PEP for you whiny pansies, now let lose with the negativity! (I'm very used to it... I hear it from everybody who can't cant key on me.)

Why is it that my audio is only criticized on internet forums and by people base their negative judgment on cheap analog recordings (a brilliant move) and say things like "I think I heard you..."
Anybody who actually speaks to me on the radio is impressed with the audio quality. I never get poor audio reports unless it's from:
- 1) somebody who never heard my station and just needs to talk **Censored** in an effort to overcome their own insecurities; or
2) somebody who can't talk when I key down and is **Censored** off about it.

Maybe if you can't take the criticism you shouldn't post up crappy audio (regardless of how it was recorded/transferred/converted/posted) with a provocative topic that is more than likely going to get looked at and picked apart on an internet forum. I'm just sayin....GC505 wrote:Why is it that my audio is only criticized on internet forums and by people base their negative judgment on cheap analog recordings (a brilliant move) and say things like "I think I heard you..."

Criticizing a station based on absolutely nothing more a 5 second analog tape recording is like saying your favorite rock band sounds like crap in live concert based solely on what you heard on a cassette tape.
Oh well, I just look at the source. Slamming some radio that you've never heard (or "claim" to have "maybe" heard from 150-250 miles away) does nothing more than show your level of intelligence.
O well, I guess I should just consider the source.
PS: Your handwriting sucks. I can tell by what you typed above.

That audio is garbage, take that radio to a tech that knows what they are doing. And by the way check the microphone section and listen to my watergate of my general lee, that was recorded with a little analog tape recorder...

When I get a chance, I'll power down to stock and record my radio from a few feet away like you did. Then we can compare audio. As it stands, there is no comparison. Put some pills behind that little thing and have somebody 10 miles away record you keying on their neighbor a block away.
There is a reason stations like yours are never heard on the bowl. When I'm interested in asking for complimentary radio checks from the driveway I'll ask for your help.
Keep up the great work. Mud ducks need a mascot too.

I never got to the second link. It came up with a file not found error... I was going by the first one. And it sounded plenty distorted. You are right though, it very easily could have been the recording device. I am a bit too used to having pro grade audio equipment at my disposal. (Nady SP-5s, Shure SM-48, M-Audio Pro Duo, Crate BX-100, etc...) I know audio. I am no audio engineer, but I am familiar with the gear, and honestly, the recording he had up, sounded plenty distorted. Yes there are factors into the audio recording quality, but... If I had an amp that big. (why I would want that much power I don't know, but whatever makes you feel good I guess), I would be embarrassed to release a Watergate with audio that distorted.
Power isn't everything. I have said this for years in all sorts of audio ventures, be it CB, car stereo, or playing in a rock band. You have got to have good audio.
I'm not slamming the OP unduly, I am hoping to point him to a potential problem so that he can improve his setup and get better audio out there. Read my posts, and you will see. I don't pull dumb punches. I call it like I see it, and I try to help out. If you don't agree, fine, and I am sure there are areas I will disagree with all sorts of folks, but that is what makes this a great hobby. We all have our ideas of what makes an ideal system.
