[Flexradio] Microphone Recommendation?

2013-10-31 Thread TM
Well, I am finally getting around to buying a mike for my Flex 3000. Have really enjoyed CW and some of the digital modes with it for the last two years and would like to give SSB a shot. The last mike I bought was a D-104, and the last phone entry in my logs dates to the 70s. So, just

I use the Heil Pro40. With the right eq, I don't think you can beat it. It's built like a tank and makes no apologies. Also, a British made Pop Filter available for this mic will bring out the best. Jim Broaddus de nx4e Fast,

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Personally, it is about getting the message through. I just ran CQWW and I know that if I had not used the HC5 element (really sharp and annoying) there are many stations that would have not copied me. I also can honestly say that those that were using a DX like

Don't you think a good Hi-Fi mike that accurately reproduces the sound field driving it is all the mike you need? Once you have an accurate electronic representation of the actual audio you can process/distort it in any way needed/wanted. It isn't required to have a mike distorted in some
