I used an MC-80 for many years and still have it, it's a good mic. The 
reason I don't use it anymore is with the TS-2000 I was getting complaints 
on how it is on FM, 2 meters and 440. I'm sure if I wanted to play with it I 
could have fixed that but I didn't, on the TS-570 and back when I had my 
940, everyone told me it sounded absolutely great. You just have to turn 
down the pot in the back or it will pickup your neighbor sneeze but beyond 
that, and that's fully adjustable, it's a great mic. the only one I've ever 
heard a complaint on is the MC-90, which has good reviews on eham, but the 
sound was always restricted when I heard one and the price is unreasonable.
