The mic came with the rig. I assume they should work together. The mic seems to work, but it doesn't have enough drive for the radio. I only get a couple of watts out for SSB if I yell into the mic. The problem could be in the rig, but I thought it best to check the mic first. I opened it up. There's a 4 ohm microphone element and a matching transformer that says BT3 001 on it. I can find no specs for the mic. What is more frustrating is there appears to be no information about what the drake transceiver wants for mic impedance. I don't have any matching transformers in my spare parts bin. Before I run out there and buy some parts, I thought it best to see if anyone knows what the heck the rig wants. Thanks for the reply Rich

Or, it might need a step up or step down transformer depending on the impedance of the mic element and the input impedance of the transmitter. ************** Start the year off right.
