I do the same thing, but with the FT-891 I can pull line level audio off the ACC port. I then use the Line to Mic level attenuator to pad the signal. Another tip, since you are using the Rode Wireless Go II mics is to set your mic connected to the radio to -12 dB. This will give you plenty of headroom for those received signals. Record stereo right your audio and stereo left the radios and then when you edit, adjust the levels independently and mix down to mono.
Already doing the rest of that! Dual channel audio is the only way. That digital -12 dB can’t fix the port overload - combination of these things seems to be the fix. Also, leveling side tone vs received strength before starting. I hadn’t been as careful with that before, and could end up with a 10 dB mismatch. Fine in the field, but not OK for a video!
@@SOTA-plus You're correct, the attenuator is a necessity, in addition to setting the level to -12 in the microphone. Mic level is much hotter than line level. Those little Rode microphones are a godsend to field recording. You've got nice audio
Thanks for pointing out the attenuated splitter! I've been thinking of adding a voice recorder to my POTA recording system for weeks and I think this will take care of the last hurdle I needed to jump.
@ I have been using a 2nd mic next to the portable speaker. And that is just not cutting it anymore. Too much delta in the audio wavelength and not consistent. I’ll be using your idea and will give you a shout out for bringing it to my attention. Your audio in this video was your best quality by far.
@@SOTA-plus GM , tried the splitter yesterday into headphones and a DJI mic on the summit. worked perfectly. Audio is phenomenal! TU for making a video describing your idea 💡.

Awesome, subtitles ! Great for us still learning. thanks for sharing. 73
Audio sounded great!!!! Cool video Mark!!!👍🏻
Really glad it worked out! Always a bit of a risk when new gear first hits the field. Have you gotten up any more SOTA peaks lately?
sound gr8. subtitles =awesome
I think you found the CORRECT setup. Sounds GREAT
Sonido perfecto y un lugar muy bonito para QRP 👏🏻

Great audio ! Definitely ordering this audio splitter . Thanks for sharing !
Have you been having the same clipping issues? Would be interested in seeing links to your videos before/after to hear the difference!

But where's the cat?!?!?!?! 😁 (We watch these for the cat, you know!) 😻 Outstanding activation, too!
Cat was hard at work studying antenna theory at home. She’s coming out again soon though!
Sounds good Mark...73, W6QR
Thanks Bill! Will you be at the banquet tonight?
@@SOTA-plus No, we have other plans. Have fun.
Sounds good. Thats a nice cw paddle too. Regards vk5cz..
Our household may have a key-collecting problem… but I always go back to the BaMaTech TP-III. Such a wonderful feel.
