Ok, I got bored a little while ago. Decided that I needed a different mic, something that sounded a bit fuller, or less nasally. So I picked up a D-104 lollypop desk mic, wired a mic plug on it and got a moving radio check. I was driving around, and the other station was stationary. I had the mic gain on the mic all the way down and after getting done driving around talking with my buddy on his base, I discovered where the mic gain on the radio needed to be. The mic really only pics up me, not the stereo, or my phone ringing. So I decided to modify the mic. I started by striping it down completely, then by removing the chrome or at least roughing it enough to take paint. I also added a few plugs and remote mounted the battery and amplifier board. I had some fun doing this. I now have myself a hand held d104 that is slightly unique. Posted pics to F/B and got a few people who either asked me how I did it, or decided that they wanted something similar. So, I decided to share pics with you all just in case someone here wants to give it a try.
