Not Bad. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After running a D 104 on my Kenwood TS 830s and getting some mediocre audio reports(the audio is too tinny for that rig!) I decided to look for a alternative microphone. I have read of other hams using Radio Shack mics on HF rigs and from the reports they seem to work well. I didnt want to spend a fortune on a mic so i decided to try a Radio Shack mike. The 33.3042 seemed to fot the bill pretty well in regards to frequency response and sensitivity. I didnt know how well a 300 Ohm mike would work on my 830 but so far so good. Granted i cant hold it a foot away from me like th D 104s but the mic sounds much better than the D 104 did. Much smoother and more natural sounding than the D 104. I also bought a mike stand for the mike and wired up a simple PTT switch on the base. Now all is well.
For $39.95 it cant be beat but get one soon as Radio Shack now has another mike out to take its place..
