Fred and Eric- I went through this a few months ago and got excellent advice from this reflector. TenTec sells a hand mic for $28 (the bias resistor is built in so you don't have to add it to the back of the front panel). I bought it and am using it and getting excellent audio reports. (Usual disclaimer, I own no part of TenTec, etc). All I needed to do was remove the 4-pin connector and replace it with an 8-pin.
If you need the pin wiring diagram, I'd be happy to send it to you. Bottom line: you can't beat the price and the performance is OUTSTANDING. 73, Cary, K4TM K-2 #5266 Lynchburg, VA _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
