I feel Jim's choice of the term "poor" is correct, but in a monetary sense. Yes, you may be able to get the mike to communications quality with racks of audio processing equipment etc., but you will probably spend more for all that when you add the cost of the mike, than radio costs by itself. Seem a tad wasteful to me when the radio already has a good EQ and a mike costing a fraction of the fancy "studio" mike will sound the same on the other end of the QSO. I don't under the fascination (or logic?) of using a wide response and expensive microphone just to narrow it down to 300 to 2800 Hz, unless you're H3LL bent on putting out a 10 kHz wide VOA grade signal that is frankly, illegal anyway. Yeah, yeah I know, you're voice is "different" and you need all that stuff to make it sound "right". If that's what you want, then by all means go for it. It's the same logic as using your (insert $200k car) to make daily commuter runs mostly stuck in traffic. 73, Charlie k3ICH ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
