What desk mic to use?

That's a niche that hasn't quite been fulfilled in the cb world since the infamous Astatic d-104 variants. I myself have tried many but haven't found one I loved yet. I think the president is in similar shoes as the anytone bunch, not much else can do what the stock electret can do. Those are my findings so far.

Some here do like the Delta desk mics or the zetagi, Ive owned and sold the zetagi but I can't speak on the delta.

$670??? about twice the price of a Lincoln radio.

The Yaesu M-100 is a bit more affordable at $440 which lacks the EQ and other features but still has low and high cut filters.

President Electret Microphone Upgrade

The stock electret microphone that comes with the President radios now days is hard to beat. Changing to a dynamic mic will usually give a lower tone that sounds good, but it lacks the punch of the stock mic and consequently is not as loud. A power mic will bring up the audio level, making the...
