Hi All, To perhaps draw this to a close... I searched the archives to find a reference to an inexpensive mic for flexRadios. Back on Nov 29, Carl Vangsness recommended the RS 33-3018 dynamic mic. How do others feel about it for casual SSB? vy 73's Rob AB7CF On Sun, 16 Mar 2008 09:05:04

As an aside to using inexpensive mikes with the SDR-1000, I also made my own boom out of a swing arm lamp from Target and unused mike parts from a very poor desktop mike stand. I will never use a desktop stand again - conducted noise from everything that vibrates within a block of my house.
