It's always good to get acknowledgment when checking out a new radio or mic for how it sounds to others. And ask for feedback. Just rotate the mic while counting to five and ask what number sounds best. It's that simple. Thanks Scott. Good topic.
The best way I found for me was holding it like you would a cellphone. I get my signal reports back just fine doing this. I don't know if it's the most optimal, but it's what works for me.
Good advice, but some of us have way too many radios and switch between them constantly so remembering the right distance and speaking volume foe any given radio can be a real challenge. Then there are those senior moments which seem to happen more frequently than i would like.
What if I want to use a phantom 48 volt microphone? What will happen? How will it sound? Plenty of them lying around...wish there was a crash course when the commercial sector uses radios...where I work there is ZERO knowledge here are some examples: 1) "Copy this" and "copy That" 2)then my white collar workers are under the impression that their radios are encrypted, no one from the outside can hear them! 3)they have no idea how to operate half duplex communications 4)they have no clue what a repeater is and are under the impression communications is radio to radio 5)they can't figure out why their voice sounds like a "robot" and not sound like FM voice as it is DMR. ect

Merry Christmas!
I like your line of 'taking amateur out of radio'. I agree that it is the simple techniques that can have the biggest impact on audio quality.

Helpful reminders for everyone.

Any updates on earmor m32 or the Howard leight/walker add on microphones/PTT ?
