Hi
    As far as Heil microphones go, my sister bought me a Heil head set style 
microphone for my birthday about 10 years ago.  After all these years of 
just about daily use the only thing I need to replace is the Ear phone pads. 
So I can highly recommend Heil micro phones no matter witch radio you run.
                    God bless,
                    Mark (Frederick)
God loves you!
