It should work, but why would you want to spend this much for a ham mic? This mic is a cosmetic copy of the very excellent ElectroVoice RE20, but without the carefully controlled bass response of the RE20, so it's going to have lots of bass boost used close-up. If you MUST use a pro mic, the ones to consider are the EV RE11, RE16, RE20, RE27, or the Shure SM54. Some are long discontinued, but dynamic mics last forever, and it's safe to buy them used from reliable sources. With ANY pro mic you'll need a lot of TXEQ to make them sound good with a ham rig. I've used an RE16 and an RE20 from my recording mic cabinet with ham rigs when I didn't have a decent ham mic. I got them to sound very good, but only with lots of low cut and high boost. A couple of years ago, a member of our contesting club who runs an audio company found the Yamaha CM500 boom mic headset and turned us on to them. He organized a group purchase, and many of us bought them. They sound really good, and they're also really comfortable. No problem wearing is for a long contest weekend. Widely available for about $45, shipped to CONUS. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
