I use the ClearSpeech inline with my TR7 and truly love it. I paid a bit more than $10 for mine.
I have tried Timewave DSP9 and 9+ and was very disappointed. Also have used the RS DSP40, like Jim says, very impressive for the cost. The one thing I find very impressive is that amount of noise the disappears when your on an idle band. You can let the rig on to listen for signals without getting a headache. I also use Philips collapsible headphone when I use cans. 73 Ron WD8SBB --- On Sat, 2/5/11, Jim Shorney <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jim Shorney <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Drakelist] My Drake/Sherwood R-4C Rules my shack!
