I'll keep it short but basically I bought an Icom ID-52A and I thought that for some reason or another the audio chain was actually inducing Reverb into my audio.... but the reality of it is if you have two radios in the same room does actually a slight amount of lag between when the audio is processed and it actually gets transmitted over the air even in an analog modes like FM. I think this is just because of the design of the audio chain of the radio.
If you do not know this is happening basically it can make you think that your radio is broken. In a cruel sense of irony the ID52A is actually one of the best sounding handheld radios I've ever heard but you can't really listen to yourself if you're transmitting and receiving in the same room because you'll hear that Reverb in your audio.... but the reality is over the air someone would never hear it in normal use ....
Basically I just posted this to prevent one of you guys from smashing your head against the wall because I'm pretty sure this isn't the only radio that does this.
Will post full review soon after the unlock. This is one of the best HTs ive ever used that isn't full commercial spec, though.
