Well guys, been over a year since ive owned the Hear it Speaker, Still hands down, i cant listen without it.. On SSB, it removes so much noise that
it makes it a pleasure to listen to. Now for the
Guys that said they hear popping and noise weird sounds, Remember, the Gap Hear it is amplified, and you need to adjust it just right. it has a volume control, so if you have too much audio going in, and the volume on the speaker is too high, you will get over modulated audio, so you must adjust it so the volume of the radio is the same when the speaker is on or off, Once you set it, forget it, and most important remember this, when you hook it up, you can hear the big difference, and when you shut it off. But when you turn it back on, the dsp takes about 6 seconds to kick in, once it kicks in you'll get your great sound,
So set it and forget it. and remember when turning it back on that it takes approx 6 seconds for the dsp to kick in, if you listen real good you will hear it settle in. Then shut it off, and youll Hate what you hear. This speaker must be set right, Its not plug and play, you gotta fiddle with it for a bit until you get the sound your looking for.
AND REMEMBER ONCE YOU GET IT RIGHT, YOUR DONE, SET IT AND FORGET IT...I give this product five stars. If mine took a dump today I would be on the phone Ordering another one, Its worth every Dime. Its the most important part of my station. Thank You Gap for this great DSP speaker that Works wonders on Band Noise. And i use my Yaesu sp 6 speaker, it plugs right into the gap, so you can use it both ways. Go Buy one, Thank me later. W8NVC in OHIO

I had a friend of mine that i speak with on 80 meters get one of these speakers, The Gap Hear it. HE raved and raved about it. i have trouble hearing stations on 40 meters due to alot of static noise but just with real distant stations, i thought it would be great if it really worked as it says. So i took it to the next level, i went to you tube, and i typed in Gap Hear it speaker. Theres a video a guy made with it and shows how good it works, I watched the Video and i was amazed.. That nite, I called my buddy Dave who frequents Ham fests and was going to one the next morning,, I said to him, if you see one of these things at a good price pick it up for me. so Guess what? He found one Brand new on a guys Table "In The BOX". He paid 60.00 Bucks, WHat a deal. He called me and said i found you one brand new do you want it for 60.00? i said yes, yes please. He brought it over. We plugged it in to the radio, and both of us where shocked, i mean shocked, This tiny small itty bitty speaker removed 90% Of band noise.and static Im still reeling and very excited about it. Heres my way of describing what it does.
its like this, without it, the distant stations are there and the close ones are there, the close ones you can understand Right? But the weeker stations you can hear like 20% of what there saying, You switch this bad Boy on, and bam, No More Noise, You can actually Hear and make out the weekest stations. and when the big boys talk that yoou would normaly have no trouble hearing, They now sound like FM. I sh#t you not. and the clarity, The bass sound and treble of this tiny speaker is just, well theres no words for it, Once you buy one and use it, Youll never go back. Now For you guys that Love that big Yaesu Sp6 that you paid big money for, The great thing is you can use it with the Gap hear it speaker because it has an external Jack on it, so you can just plug your speaker into the Gap and use the DSP modual Inside, and keep using your big Yaesu speaker or Icom Speaker. But to tell you the truth, Its sounds great just the way it is, im gonna keep my sp6 for now, and use it both ways, but ill probably sell the sp6 because this Gap speaker is so small and sounds just as good if not better, ill have more shelf room, Plus my Yaesu sp6 Cant Nock Out 90% of Noise like this Gap Hear it speaker, the Dsp is also adjustable to shape it for your hearing and Radio Needs.....
If you have not tried or heard this Little Gem. do yourself a favor go to you tube and type in Gap Hear it speaker. Youll be amazed, but its even better in person. This has become one of the most important parts of my shack, no more straining my ears to hear the stations , and no more horrible static fuzz, its just a pleasure to listen too.
Now, This is my 2 cents, Go and do your own research, and youll say the same. I could go On and on, But its worth every penny it costs.
Thank you Gap for this real Gem that really works great, Really.... & 73. AAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
