Hi Ron,
Fear not, my spelling is quite different to US English. Never had a problem.
On another subject. KH1 was #331 mixed for me. I started from zero in
mid 2000 after a spell of about 10 years QRT. The first 257 were with
the K2. All have been worked K2/K3 and for the first three years only
made about 500 QSO QRP to a low wire and less entities than is possible
over a major contest weekend.
Now rather more tooled up!
Regards,
Mike VP8NO

anything.
If you use the wrong punctuation or mis-spell something! You could get lynched
or tarred and feathered and run out of town.
We won’t even broach the subject of differing opinions.

I looked up the mic on Amazon, and it is a $20 studio look-alike. I’m sure it
has a twenty-five cent electret element under all that stuff, but cheap
electret mics are very good.
So it probably is a decent mic and it isn’t too expensive. If you like the look
of it and can power it, why not? The detailed info on Amazon says it works with
5 V bias. One reviewer says the response rolls off under 150 Hz, which would be
good for communications use.

Operator mike technique is very important with regard to good to great audio.
I've found that my $20 Behringer 8500 sounds as good as my $100 Shure SM 58.
Likewise my $200 Heil PR 781 needs for one to pay special attention to
mike-to-mouth distance in order to control proximity effect.
Price and type do not assure one of "great audio". OTOH - I find most hand mikes
supplied with radios sound "plastic" with various resonances and rattles and squeaks,
noticeable on the air.

This mic is intended for studio and recording work. It is a very poor
choice for ham radio.

I feel Jim's choice of the term "poor" is correct, but in a monetary sense.
Yes, you may be able to get the mike to communications quality with racks of
audio processing equipment etc.,
but you will probably spend more for all that when you add the cost of the
mike, than radio costs by itself.
Seem a tad wasteful to me when the radio already has a good EQ and a mike
costing a fraction of the fancy "studio" mike will sound the same on the
other end of the QSO.
I don't under the fascination (or logic?) of using a wide response and
expensive microphone just to narrow it down to 300 to 2800 Hz, unless you're
H3LL bent on putting out a 10 kHz wide VOA grade signal that is frankly,
illegal anyway.
Yeah, yeah I know, you're voice is "different" and you need all that stuff
to make it sound "right".
If that's what you want, then by all means go for it.
It's the same logic as using your (insert $200k car) to make daily commuter
runs mostly stuck in traffic.
