Hi.
It just goes to show that everyone has their own opinion on how a
microphone should sound. Most of the people that I talk to have no use for
the MC60. I have one on my Kenwood TS690S. I used to have an MC50 on my
old TS430S with the appropriate adaptor to change it over to the 8 pin
format. No one ever complained about my audio there, but then again, it
was SSB and most people don't expect much out of SSB.
