So the new CRT speaker has been working fine over the last couple of weeks, but for sometime, I have been looking at D.S.Ps (Digital Signal Processor), doing a little research online and watching a few YouTube videos. HAM radio operators have used them for a number of years, to filter out unwanted noise/sound from the incoming audio, before it gets to your speaker. They aren't the cheapest of equipment, especially for your average CBer, but if your a little serious about DX, especially SSB, then I recommend buying one secondhand like I did from eBay. Not only will the unit filter out unwanted sound from a incoming signal, to make them easier to understand and probably gaining you an extra few hundred, or maybe a 1000 miles on a good day. Also, your ears will thank me for it.
I brought the bhi NEIM1031 DSP, from eBay for £86, which I'm led to believe is the MK2 version and the current mk4 is around £180. After plugging in all the leads that come with it, I switched on the DSP, adjusted the settings as per instructions and bliss... Yes bliss. It took a day or two to get accustomed to the fine adjustments, but these units are easy to use and the clarity to the incoming audio is fantastic. I was so impressed with the unit, I decided to buy one of their extension speakers from bhi's website, which was another £26. Sound range and clarity is brilliant, I totally recommend this setup, sorry CRT speaker, your out of here.
