Good morning Erik: If you would like a good comparison between a dynamic mic and the MH-2 electret mic, I would be glad to do it with you. I am using a dynamic mic normally used with a commercial vhf/uhf mobile which also has the UP/DOWN keys and have compared with the electret MH-2 hand mic and there is really no comparison. With the MH-2, I have to fiddle around with the transmit audio equilizer while the dynamic mic is perfect as is.Now a problem with the MH-2 is that the curly cord is way too stiff while the dynamic mic that I use has a nice long super flexible curly cord. I have also tried a Kenwood dynamic hand mic but found that the audio from that mic really sucked as it has way to much bass which can be compensated some but it still is no match for my commercial hand mic. 73 from Fern with K3 #412 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik N Basilier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "elecraft" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 12:57 AM Subject: Re: Re[Elecraft] quest
When I received my MH-2, I almost put it up for sale because it is so bulky in the hand, especially with the non-removable hanger, and yes, the ptt button is a bit of a pain. Then I listened to it with the monitor and found that the sound quality is much better than the dynamic Kenwood mike I was comparing it to. The MH-2 stays! In fact in other audio applications I have always found that an electret mike is superior to a dynamic.
