How to install a Echo Board in a CB Radio by CBRadioMagazine

[grizzly19741]

is it a sin wife said they that on cober 29 ltd classic let me know place.

[TruckerRedbeard]

On this radio, I would put the control in the spot for Delta Tune. On a 29 NW LTD, I'd set the dimmer where I want it, tape it up inside, and put the echo control in that spot (I think it's the same location on both radios, because the NW doesn't have Delta Tune.

[paraglidermx]

I would have used the delta tune instead,its nice to have a rf gain...I like using it better than squelch.Plus delta tune never made a diff.for me??

@paraglidermx

i agree. thats what i would do ,i do not use the delta tune but i do use the rf gain to drop noise level.

i realy don't see an advantage using echo, when doing dx, operators with little signals using an echo are not understandable !...i always skip these ones...

[cbradiomagazine]

@micheldezanger

I wouldn't say there is any advantage to using echo - but many people do like to have it. There definitely is a fine line between adding just a hint of echo to sound unique or going overboard and doing the repeater for 10 minutes to be annoying :)

[micheldezanger]

@cbradiomagazine I understand that adding some bit of echo may sound nice.....i play music, and adding some echo (in a studio-record) sure adds a dimension. But it is that dimension that plays me parts when I am trying to contact a very distand station wtih lots of qsb/qrm, a very low signal and a echo voice .....The effect demands more concentration for the listener. .

32 years of cb and amateur radio have teached me not to use echo...of course it is personal..but i know i'm not alone

@micheldezanger their is two types of echo people.... Ones who play and ones who use it to help give a bigger radio sound..

if done right 90% of the people wont know its on but if you turn it off you can tell

[bluejay148]

hi can u make a video of the installion of connex echo board and the bb2 echo board

[fordbroncodave]

what do you do on a radio that has a tiny circuit board on the back of the mic plug inside the radio. commonly found on cobra ssb radios

[cbradiomagazine]

@fordbroncodave

Most of the circuit boards on the four pin radios will still have four wires exicting them (Ground, Audio, TX, RX) - it's just a matter of idenitifing them.

[cbradiomagazine]

For great explanation of how to identify microphone wires go to google and type " cbcintl mike wiring guide "

[paraglidermx]

@cbradiomagazine I would wrap that board in bubble wrap incase it vibrates loose and shorts out on the board ;-)

@paraglidermx use loctite on the screw and it should hold fast.
