Excellent!!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I am using this speaker mic with TH-28A 2m handy. The speaker is very good with loud and clear sound, and the mic is also very good and I don't want to use anything else. This combination is with me whenever I leave home, specially when I go to a local hamfest. Genuine Kenwood audio quality is what I love the most, and no wonder why I have so many Kenwood radios.

I tried MFJ, Prime, and modified Icom speaker mic before this but none of these comes close to SMC-34. The function key and volume control is a great help as well.

Terrible Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
For forty dollars you expect more from Kenwood.
The microphone is terrible!
The speaker is terrible!
The function key placement is terrible (on top)!
A big watse of money. I got it to use with my TH-F6A. I haven't tried the microphone mod. It really bothers me to have to mod something that sells for 3x the speaker/mics that I bought for my FRS radios and sounds a third as good.
