Dumb question... has anyone been able to use their CB radio mic on
their
computer, like for VOIP? Like, uplug mic from CB, and plug it into
their
computer? Does it work?

Why would you want to? The computer has a stereo mini-jack. CB mike
has
DIN or other style connector. Sounds fairly pointless, as the cost of
making an adaptor between the two jack styles far exceeds what the price
a
standard computer mic. would run at the store.

I challenge you to find a computer mic that picks up well, doesn't sound
like **** *and* costs less than what it would in theory to convert a
radio
mike.

Challenge all you like. I'm not interested in such nonsense; the idea
was foolish to begin with. I can guarantee that a CB mike won't sound any
better (if not worse) on a computer than a standard microphone, even the
crap from Radio Shack.

Take your pick, you'd be hard pressed to create a CB mike to computer
adapter for much less than these:

Thanks, I know it sounded a little counterintuitive, but I just wanted to
know if anyone had ever tried it before. Thanks.
