I really wish someone would help me with my clarity issues using my throat mics and motorola BTRs. I have no idea where to go for a resource on troubleshooting this problem.
Hi Dan,
The video was never intended to be a comprehensive tutorial about issues with throat mics. It was created as a response to the most basic frequently asked questions we receive from customers who have never used a throat mic before and want to know what it is, how it basically works, and how to wear it, hence the title How to use a throat mic.
Our Radio 101 series is just that, it's Radio 101. It covers the basic questions asked about two way radios in simple terms, using easy to understand concepts and examples, in two minutes or less. It is primarily aimed at those who are somewhat new to radios and want to learn more about them.
Perhaps in the future we may follow up with a more in-depth discussion about throat mics in another video series or on an episode of our The Two Way Radio Show Podcast. Stay tuned! We appreciate the comments!
My interest was piqued by the link for information on Throat mics. I was hoping for recommendations about how to overcome the problem that I have experienced with poor clarity while using throat mics. The only theme this video discusses is how to put it on. Really? Information like that could be communicated with a simple drawing or photo if it weren't obvious to the user already. The video could have been much better utilized to make recommendations about how to overcome problems associated with throat mics. It could have been a very helpful, but instead there doesn't seem as if there is much to be gained by this video.
