Gentlemen:
Pete's comments were just a bit too much for me to ignore! The Lafayette
lapel mike! Wow! I hadn't thought about using my Lafayette "Throat mike"
dating from about the same time but maybe this winter I might get around to
it! It has an interesting "gurgly" sound. I think we all know that it is
easy to pump stray RF into our 5000A's but I want to warn everyone who might
want to proceed that given the "great age" of the D-104 (I will ignore the
potential impedance problem since that is info readily available on the
web---including kits) we always have to be aware that at some time in it's
life someone might have "rewired" it and you have to be sure that the shield
is not used for signal and that the shield is properly grounded to the
5000. My personal opinion is that anyone who doesn't use a D-104 and
doesn't use Software Defined Radio is simply nor getting maximum enjoyment
from his hobby.

When I use my D-104 with the Flex 5000, mike is connected to the "Line
In" jack on the back panel. Then you go to the "Audio Mixer Form" and
click on "Line In RCA". You can then use the D-104 pre configured choices
as a starter, and tailor the settings to your own voice characteristics.
The D-104 actually works quite well with the Flex 5000. For fun and
giggles, I even tried my crystal lapel microphone that I bought from
Lafayette Radio in 1961, for $1.95, using the Line In jack and tailoring
the audio with the internal mixer. Good audio reports, punchy audio, that
helped make some DX contacts in pileups.
