Why would anybody put a D104 on an amateur radio?

Why would anybody put a D104 on an amateur radio?
If it were able to be used as intended, it would allow me to talk without having to be 2 inches from the mic, as is required with my Heil HM-10. Besides, it's a neat microphone, but it's just collecting dust sitting on my shelf. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73! de Andy KC2SSB Beachwood, NJ USA! Grid FM29vw http://vhfradiobuff.tripod.com |

Well -- probably tens of thousands of Hams did well before CB and a lot still do. The mic has a rising response at the higher audio end for increased intelligibility.

Because you can use the back of the chrome mic as a mirror
to see behind your rig to plug/unplug stuff ! Try talking across the mic not directly into it, makes a nice difference. Plus they look real retro !

Tube type...thats what they were designed for...Yes indeed, and very true.
BUT....the question from the CBer was concerning a FT100. Neither tube type or a boatanchor. Dan/W4NTI "asdf" wrote in message ... N8XYN wrote: Why would anybody put a D104 on an amateur radio?

I use a D-104 on my Icom 706...and with my old Kenwood 430 and with my old Icom 735...they're neither tube-type nor boatanchor. Nor am I a CB'er. What's wrong with that??? |

That's my favorite answer so far! :) Of course there's only been one or two answers that actually answered the original question, but I should expect that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73! de Andy KC2SSB Beachwood, NJ USA!

Andy... I have one on my 756Pro, and sold the Heil.
I also use one on several other rigs..both tube and solid state. Used in tube-only rigs??? Someone's been living in a closet!! ....Dave "VHFRadioBuff" wrote in message ...
