RE: QT HALO ? ..... Happiness
Santa came early with my new QT Halo's. Last week I had a chance to use them and found them "noisy" compared to my old head set......![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Called Phil and told him that I , "thought", I was inserting the yellow foam inserts per his video instructions correctly. He said I may needed the larger foam plugs to get the job done. Also like some others have found the gain has a problem for me. My voice on transmit will cut out easily no matter how I set the squelch or radio volume....He said I may have to go into the black volume box and cut one of the resistors to fix the gain??????
I believe that the sound level lowering that some have encountered and explained on other threads is as good or better than the typical head set. Not mine at least for now.
Experimenting I put the music radio on in the hanger and: 1. Noted the volume 2. Put on my old head set and noted the volume. 3. Take off the old head set and plug my ears with my little fingers and noted the volume. 4. Remove my little little fingers and insert the yellow foam (carefully per instructions ??) QT ear set and note the volume.
Results: 1. Radio at normal listening level....
2. With old head set .... significant volume decrease
3. Finger in the ear ...... same as if not a bit lower than 2 above.
4. Fellow QT set .......... approx. 1/2 the decrease as compared to 2 and 3 above.
I really like the QT's for comfort but disappointed in the external sound lowering aspect....and the intermittent gain problem (which I think can be corrected).
HELP......Any Ideas would greatly be appreciated. Ear surgery is not an option??![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
No surgery Needed.
Made a trip to Double eagle II (KAEG) in New Mexico Monday March 29, 2010 and had a real chance to check out my improved and updated Halo head set. Worked great. Phil was great to work with and made some electronic changes to the head set to make it much improved!
