Hello All -
I will be heading down to Dayton next month, and one of the top items on my
shopping list is
a good quality microphone for my F5K.
Where better to get some ideas than here?
From top to bottom, what do you guys use, what do you recommend?
Tnx

Honestly, any wide bandwidth (50-15K) flat response balanced dynamic mic
connected to the balance line-in on the back of the F5K will work fine because
of the 10-band EQ will shape the audio based on your voice characteristics that
will sound fine.
IMHO the Heil mics are of good quality, but
from 'the bottom'i use a radio shack $3.00 dynamic mike with 0.1 uFd in
series with the hot lead...roll off the lows like crazy with the 10 band
equalizer...use 'stomp to talk' foot switch.for a guy who spends 90% of his
time on cw, this is just right, ha !

I have microphones that I share with my Yaesu FT-2000 on my F5K. The Yaesu
MD-100 and the MD-200 - the MD-200 has the 2nd Heil
element installed for DX work, and the standard element is nice and smooth for
local rag chewing on 75 and 40m.
Both microphones work out of the box and the audio
Given the flexibility of the Flex (pun intended) nearly any mic can be
made to sound good. For simplicity and easy availability any of the
Yaesu mics will plug into the front panel and give you PTT. Some will
just look cooler than others.

Hi, Larry, (and all),
The days of spending lots of money for a microphone for technical reasons
are over. You can get a GREAT microphone (studio quality) for around $120,
such as the Audio Technica AT-2035, but why would you for
communications where high and low frequencies are rolled off as a
I have a nice Electrovoice RE10, RE16, and 664 I would consider selling.
Also a number of D104's. I agree with other posts that Heil is a very
popular and overpriced; you don't need to buy a ham microphone to
get great audio and plug play compatibility (or worst case, you or
someone solders a
Larry,
I have several studio quality dynamics from Shure and Peavey, but to be
honest, the microphone that consistently gets unsolicited comments about
its fidelity while running AM and SSB is a Radio Shack $2.99 electret
element mounted in an old Peavey studio mic case and plugged right into

If you have or are interested in using the 3D Connexion controllers with
PowerSDR, 3D Connexion has released a new set of beta drivers that add enhanced
functionality to the devices. I have placed a short article on
www.hamradioscience.com regarding this, if you are interested.

Like Brian, I use an aviation headset, in my case a David Clark H10-60,
Sound isolation is exceptional, the headset is comfortable for long periods
of time, and the mic has excellent noise cancellation. As Brian notes, a
little fiddling is required for the interface but that was no big deal.

One comment about using aviation-type headsets with the Flex radios. All of
them that I am aware of are mono earphones. You really do not get the full
benefit of the receive signal unless you have stereo headphones. The
ability to pan the main RX signal to one ear the MUltiRX (or RX2) signal
I'll give a positive to Heil's Pro Set Elite. The mike is flat, the headphones
are quite comfortable. I like the separate replaceable cotton covers and
availability of repair parts. As mentioned before, not cheap.

I do have a suggestion since I haven't bothered to pull the foam out of my
flightcoms (the mike is simple, see QST April 2010 page 65) But it would
seem that some of those headsets might be stereo already. If not I see no
reason why a person couldn't simply simply rewire the headset to

It depends on which ones you get now. Nowadays you have to go out of your
way to get a mono headset.
