Most of the Motorola radios I worked on in the factory and in field service had amplified mics, including the the Mocat CB radios. I tend to use the non-amplified D104 mics with my older vacuum state rigs, and the amplified ones with the newer Ten Tecs. Either way, they work great. Of course, the amplifiers need to be wired correctly. I was the tech there at Schaumburg who tested the first 144 amplified CB mics sent up from the Puerto Rico plant. Not one of them worked. I guess you could really call that gross ineptitude!
I also have good results with the Shure 444 mics, and those have a switch on the bottom to set the output impedance. Less trouble than the Astatic preamp.
