Clean Telsat SSB-140 with stock mic, really fantastic receive and noise
blanker $100
Currently in service
Comstat 35 with stock mic $25.

Both tested, the Comstat 35 has an audio squeel with the range boost on
(with *tuned* back of the set whip antenna)
Likely RF getting into the cheap HI-Z mic.
I also have a nice black D-104 with the preamp $50
