10 guys will offer up at least 12-15 opinions. I use a Heil PR 40. I get good audio reports. Fellow Flexers have recorded and rebroadcast me so I could hear myself and it sounded (for better or worse) just like what I have come to know is my voice. I have heard other Flexers using Heil PR 40 and they sounded broadcast quality and this was without a bunch of high dollar accessory audio gear. Of course if you go for the penetrating DX sound (like fingernails on the chalkboard) the PR 40 will still work but its quality is wasted, in my less than humble opinion.

I'm sure there are other solutions that would be satisfactory. I haven't tried a lot of mikes on my F5KA. The PR 40 was suggested to me. I liked the ones I heard on the air. I bought one and am completely satisfied. A quote from a fictional doctor on "Mash" (TV not movie), I do one thing, I do it well, I move on. I can only sound so much like myself. I can only be 100% satisfied.

Again, there are probably other good answers but I have other problems to work on and consider the mike issue solved.

Best of luck to you and 73

This will open a big can of worms,.   :)

But, you will find the the Heil mics are purpose designed for SSB
communications.

Every ham needs to listen to Bob on Triagulation http://twit.tv/tri8 ... it
is a long podcast, but the discussion on Bell Labs was very cool.

Well, I am finally getting around to buying a mike for my Flex 3000.  Have
really enjoyed CW and some of the digital modes with it for the last two
years and would like to give SSB a shot.  The last mike I bought was a
D-104, and the last phone entry in my logs dates to the 70s.  So, just
wondering what the Flex users have found to be a good choice. Doubt that I
will use it a bunch, so would probably go for something other than top of
the line, studio grade.

Thanks for any suggestions.
