Hey Jay I just picked up an mc-60 cheap for this kenwood, dude dropped
it off for test and tune. It ain't an electro voice or a heil but i'm
getting good audio reports from it at any rate. (i hit the up/down
switch by mistake if i'm not careful) instead of the key.

Hello Steveo:

Yeah those MC60 mics are good mics. I had one and it sounded like
broadcast quality audio. If you can get our hands on a Sure 444 those
also great mic's.


Hi Jay, yeah I've heard those Shure mics on the air and they have a nice
sound too. Microphones are a strange bird, what sounds good on one radio
may sound like crap on another. Heil makes a good sounding mic too imo. I'm
happy with this mc-60 so far..but I'm always looking for better audio, you
know how it goes..

Yeah you will be taking to the space shuttle if your
not careful.


Ya never know who may say hello next. I'm lucky over here, we have a gaggle
of local guys on SSB so there's almost always someone to rag chew with.

I used old Motorola commercial Mics, modified to high impedance output,
with push button switchs for the up and down function. A lot of work but
it made the Motorola Radios sound great on SSB.

Hey that's kinda slick too, sometimes you can find those for cheap too.
