Seriously Richard my 252 sounds great !!!!
I've listened to it myself.
The key for me was to get the pot up, hold mike 3.5'' away at a 45deg.angle and
to remember the element is near the top of the mike. The tough part is getting
used to talking on each radio a little differently. A ht with a good pair of
hi-fi cans monitoring the input or
simplex is a great tool in getting this one down. Many schematics for simple,
easy to build deviation meters are to be had on the web.

to thine own sound be true

Speaking of deviation meters, can anyone recommend a freeware Windows
sound card oscilloscope program? I'd like to be able to run the line
out audio from a scanner into the sound card and be able to display
the audio envelope. The amplitude scale wouldn't need to be calibrated
as long as I could count the number of divisions, I could compare the
peak deviation from the 252 to other signals on the air. A quick and
dirty deviation comparison checker. I use Scanner Recorder to record
the audio, and it has an input display like I want, but no graduations
to use for comparing the amplitude from different mics and radios.

I have a Turner desk mic connected to the 252 at the moment. I don't
really know if It's an improvement or not. I built a little adapter
box with 6 push button switches so I can control the radio, but I have
to do without DTMF. Not a problem locally.
