The D 104 I use currently works well with the 4 C line and the TR-7. Like the other guys, I rewired the mic and bypassed the preamp in the base of the stand. The reports are usually better than the Shure 444. 73 de W4DL Mike ex AK7P * WA9SWF * WN9SWF

Hi All; From what I have seen know of, the Astatic G push-to-talk stand was un-amplified. The T-UG8 PTT Stand was amplified but for hi-Z inputs. The T-UG9 PTT stand was amplified and universal, Hi-Z es Lo-Z. All stands could be mounted with a D-104 Xtal hi-z crystal mike head or a 10D dynamic
