Recommendations for Best Mic on Ranger 2970N2

I have a couple of the 1st CDL56 mics , the look a like for the RK56 mics and they seem to work just fine. they have just a little more audio than the RK56 mics I have. I have never tried one of the workman RK56 look a like mics as of yet since I have so many of the old RK56 mics. all I have ever had to do to the old ones is put a new switch in them if it went bad. I have about a dozen of the new switches to replace them if I can not clean the old ones up.
I use to change a lot of the switches out for truck drivers since they used the mic a lot back years ago and it swinging around in the cab it would get damaged. truck drivers would get rather rough with the mics for some reason.

I always ran the Ranger brand radios both base and mobile.Had the best luck with the Astatic 575-m6 mic.

Came across a picture of a girl I’d admired in high school. Pretty then, and nice now . . . but I wouldn’t have recognized her. (60-ish)

With a few it’s been the voice that was the save. The combination of looks & voice.

Keep those contact switches clean, boys.

(Am I the only one feels greater affection for the ones I also knew in elementary school?).
