Here's a question for the hams on the forum. While "listening in" on 10 meters, I heard a few rigs with fantastic audio. It wasn't the big cb modulated sound, but rather a big clear bassy audio. What desk mike can I use with my Ranger 2985 to get simuliar results? I don't see many aftermarket ham type mikes, and I rather not purchase a icom or kenwood replacement mikes due to the large cost. The mode of interest will be SSB, although am is of some importance too. Any recommendations for specific mikes?

Mega belive it or not some of the stock mikes sound great! The Mag 257 /HTX-10/titan 485 have BROADCAST audio on all modes STOCK out of the box!
Someone in qst had a audio matching ckt for the d104 to match it to the newer radios and as taz stated turner makes a good mike. As for icom ect i bought the matching YASEU mike for my ft-840 dont wast your money.

I have to agree with 671. Heil does have one very nice mike element.

But sometimes it is the voice not the mike. Some people have a high squeaky voice and others have a deep voice. A good mike only reproduces the kind of voice you have.
