Nice Electret Mic For The Optima Series Rigs

Bought one of these on a whim.

Great sounding mic, using it on an Optima MK3. Reports give it loud, crisp and clean audio. Beats out the HM-36 and the stock Phantom Powered obligatory mic.

It's cheap, decent construction with a nice supple cord. They make one for Kenwood also.

Hey russ!

Please pardon my ignorance, what exactly does the "loc/dx" switch on the back do?

 

[Mudfoot]

It says "LOCK" It locks out the up/down buttons.

Please pardon my ignorance, what exactly does the "loc/dx" switch on the back do?

its a lock switch for the channel buttons on top of the mic so you don't bump them and change freq


you beat me to it,,lol

I like the HM-12 a lot better than the HM-36, not sure if I would like this one, it's way too small for me to hold, kind of like the old stock mics on the 257 Magnum but if it works good that's what matters
