Not wanting to stir up any controversy here, however, I think you
guys are getting out of hand with these mic's, especially when
you are talking about a 300 to 3k band width,. I mean we're not
talking hifi fm broadcasting. I get great audio reports on my
TS590 using the stock hand mic. I think you can do a lot to
augment your voice quality just by adjusting the audio
characteristics available in the menus. I bought a Heil hand mic
from a ham on the swap net and it sounds like crap, like I am
holding my nose while talking. It might be a good DX contest mic
because all it has is high's so I guess it will cut through
traffic, but otherwise, I don't use it even though it feels nice
in my hand. Good luck and happy spending! Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Not cheap
Steve:
Those radio sports aren't cheap. They make a set optimized for
tubed and
older rigs prier to 1990 and this thing is 299 plus the cost of a
cable,
hand or foot switch and 40 bucks to ship to Canada.
Add in the exchange etc I'm probably looking at close to 500 plus
canadian.
LOL On the other side of the coin, I can get the Heil Gold Elite
and CC-1
connecting kit for 172 plus 43 plus taxes and shipping, about 250
or so put
on the air. I could get the HM-12 on the air for 150. I hope my
cheaper
Apex and connecting cable works out. LOL I do like the sound of
the Gold
line which I've heard ya on but I'm not sure if the HM-12 will do
my voice
justice. I'm told that my voice sounds kind of muddy on the Pro
Micro Duel
and where that's a cheaper heil set, think the HM-12 will sound
like that,
again where its a cheaper mic. My yaesu MD-1B8 seems to get the
more
favorable reports.
