Bow that Banana mike was a great Mike but a D-104 amplified would serve you better...If you don't want the banana and if it is chrome in good shape I would love to buy it from you...I collect great mikes...

I am looking for suggestions on how to get better sounding audio out of the one I have. The Hardwired Crystal "Banana" microphone is coming off ASAP and I plan on inputting audio from my rack gear, or using a more modern dynamic microphone. But I know this thing has to have some audio bandwidth bottlenecks. Has anyone ever used one on the air? The schematic is here: http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/ef_johnson/messenger_2/graphics/messenger _2_s ch.jpg For Starters, I think C24 needs to be increased to .22uf, to let some low end through. Any other suggestions? Bow W5EFR No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
