I have a nice cheap headset mic setup for my computer I got for $15, on here
and another one I got for $10 I got that I use on my laptop for voice
chatting that work very well and I don't get any complaints on either one
though the one I have on this computer seems to pick up a little less
background noise as in, none at all as apposed to the cheaper pare that
picks up a little.

Subject: Re: Hiel Mikes into Computer


The impedance is wrong as is the voltage output.  Also, many current sound
cards
have some voltage across the microphone and the Hiel does not.  There's also
the
issue of matching the wiring to the computer and switching between the
computer
and radio.  Sounds like an rf nightmare to me, especially when you can get a
computer mic for $10 or $15 but it might be worth doing just for the fun of
it.
You might call Hiel directly as I've found them to be very helpful any time
I
had questions.  Their number is (618) 257-3000.
