The DX Store sells the PR781 Heil microphone for $139. Plan to add that to my portfolio of microphones which include a Yamaha headset, two Heil headsets and a mini portable Heil microphone. I have been using the Yamaha and Heil portable microphone lately. Get good audio reports from both. Saw that the DX Store had the PR781 and seems to be a good price.
