I didn't wanna say anything but I get better audio reports with a Radio Shack el-cheapo mic than I do with the MH2 with my voice.
When I decided I wanted to try SSB with the K2, I realized I no longer had a mike....so, I took the rig and the docs to the last local ham radio dealer in the area. The owner was a yong man who had the bad luck of having me administer his novice test some years ago.
I asked him if he'd try and find a mike that worked with the K2. When I got back, he gave me a cassete tape, a player and a set of headphones....told me to listen and pick the sound that I liked the best, since he had tried several mikes....ranging from some high-end stuff to some down and dirty generic, Hey you lost your mike Good Buddie, I got one that works with anything.
I picked, by the sound of his voice on the tape, the best sounding mike....and when I had, he asked me for 3.95 for the mike.I went home and that evening checked into a Maryland net that I hadn't been in over 30 years.....and some of my old budsasked if I was using my TR7 (g).
