Works as advertised Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Buildt the kit, took some time to do the settings with the help of fellow hams here.

Big help in keeping the noise down in SSB the added 2 band equaliser added just the finishing touch to the MC 80 from Kenwood.
Transciever used here is the Yaesu FT 847 with Collins filters.

Simply great Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is the best $109.00 (Kit) I have spent in a long time. I wanted it mainly for the "Noise Gate", to get rid of some amplifier blower noise, which works great.

However the bonus is, all the reports say that adding a "little EQ", makes the Heil Goldline and Proset sound even better.

About 12 hours to build, and worked perfect the first time. All components are first class, with not cheap stuff.

I am very pleased ..... thanks Julius ... a great product.

A "must have" station Accessory!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
W2IHY provided excellent and courtious telephone information as to what I needed for my particular station set-up. Prouduct is well built, easy to connect, instruction manual well laid out. Noise gate is excellent (I have three young children, many of you understand what S-9 household background noise sounds like), and the equalizer makes my 706MKIIG sound very good even with the stock mic. (It does help to have a second receiver to listen to your audio as you make adjustments). Whole lotta bang for your buck with this product.

Good Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bought the kit version and built in a couple of nights. Made a few mistakes and one call to Julius was all that was necessary to get it going.

The product performs as well as everyone says in previous reviews. I would reduce this review to score of 4 for the kit version. The reason for this is that the assembly instruction contained MANY hand written changes and errata. It took alot of study and review to understand the changes. I would recommend the kit version to only those with some experience.

So overall, its a 4.5, but I round to 5 giving Julius the benifit for his great customer service.

Best Shack Accessory Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I got mine to be able to use other than stock mics on my rigs. Its noise gate blocks out exteraneous noises. For example,Ive used a computer mic., the kind with the plastic stand, and got excellant audio reports from everyone listening on a blind test. Why buy specialty mics.? No need. This little accessory kicks up the quality of the audio several notches no matter which mic. I select. Ive used those headset mics. used with cell phones, stock mics.,
and popular ham mics. all with better results than not having the EQ/Noise gate in line. I bought mine used from someone who did not understand how/why to use it. There's alot of that going on. A call to the man in charge, Julius, changes all that. What a wonderful and versatile addition to the shack!

Good stuff Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I own W2IHY Dual Band Equalizer/Noise Gate for 4 years. I bought it primarily for the noise gate which works very good and solved the close amplifier noise.
Julius is very cooperative and fast in response.

Excellent costumer service ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Many times i read about Julius and his products and now i can tell you that everything is true !!
Very, very high product quality and costumer service also !! (Sometimes i would like it could be the same for "Big factories" also !! Hi !!)
I bought the pre-assembled and kit version also and i didn't have any problem to assemble and to use it.
Assembly instructions are completed and easy to understand, and you are assisted step by step.
Every time i sended an e-mail to Julius he answer me in a few time...maybe he got a keybord instead of hands ??
Have you a good time with W2IHY audio equalizers...73 de Giorgio IV3EPO.

Excellent product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought the 8 band audio equalizer and noise gate. I found the product to do everything that W2ihy said it would do when I talked to him on the phone. If you want good audio and the ability to make changes BUY IT NOW it is one of the best products I ever bought. I highly recommend it to any one wanting excellent audio.
