Super Service! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased this mike from Bob and he accidentally shipped it with the wrong connector. I sent him an email and he was back to me in just minutes with suggested fixes, including the option of sending it back. We decided to have him send me the right connector and let me solder it on in place of the wrong one. A quick and easy solution. I'd do business with him again any time.

The best mic an at affordable price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
What this microphone is super, Bob W2ENY makes a great base microphone at an affordable price and he shops fast too, and with the right radio connector attach no adapter needed

And I see the difference right away and th quality too, so I recommend this microphone.

Excellent Mic Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Received my mic today from Bob. Made a half dozen contacts with all telling me it had superior audio and sounded excellent compared to the mobile mic and base mic I was using. I am extremely happy with it. He had it all wired including the battery box so just plug and play.

Fantastic performer Part Ii Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I forgot to mention in my previous commentary that I am using this microphone on an old Yaesu FT-747 transceiver from the very early 1990's and both compliment each other wonderfully.

Nice mic for K3 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Finally ordered one of these from Bob. Came correctly wired for the K3. Adjustment of the TX EQ reduced the lows and boosted the highs just right. Excellent reports from people that know my voice. Previous desk mic was Heil Goldline and Heil HM-12. The W2ENY microphone performs just as well or better than the others. Excellent value and quality.

Lots Of Gain And Great Audio Reports Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought a Ten Tec Jupiter used, and it did not come with a microphone. I tried several mikes on it, with poor results.
I saw one of these W2ENY Desk Mikes on Ebay, then looked at his webpage. I saw he was a Ham, just like me, who had plenty of equipment.
Then, I saw some old AM stuff, and that convinced me that this guy was into sound quality.
I decided to take a chance, and ordered one of these desk mikes.
It got here very fast, and I was asked if I needed 4 or 8 wire connection for my radio.

To make a long story short, I am very happy with this Mike.
It has tons of gain, does not p/u excessive fan noise (I have a Commander 2500 Amp), and has got me several, unsolicited "You sound great" audio reports on the air, so far.

LOL, I have a big fat belly, and the mike fits comfortably on my belly, when I am on the air.
It is light enough for me to hold and key it up with one hand, while I surf the Internet.

It literally drives the piss out of the Ten Tec Jupiter, and sounds great too.
I am very pleased, especially when you consider how little it costs.

Very Good Audio Reports For A Good Price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought it directly from W2ENY and it was professionally packaged and shipped really fast. I've gotten better audio reports with it compared to my Icom SM-6 desk mic and a tie with my Heil iCM boom mic which is made for older Icom rigs like my IC-751A.

Very good desk mic for the money Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
So far reports of audio quality is good once I set the right Microphone settings on the HF Rig. I am using it with a Yaesu FT 857D as a station at home.

Works better then the stock Icom 746 mic! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I thought it was a cheap hand me down that I got from my dad however I get WAY better signal reports with this mic then I do the mic that came with my Icom 746, after some looking around online I come to find out that other people also agree with me.

A great mic for the money.
