Turner Super Sidekick - VS - Turner Plus Three Mic that's the question ?

OK I have both of these mics and have heard good things about Turner mics so it brings up the question ? Which one of these old mics gets the highest rating from you old pros on 11 meter SSB ??? I'm thinking of wiring one for my Galaxy 2547 or a Cobra and the wiring order to which pin would be helpful also. But it would be interesting to get the opinions from the experts. Let the Best Turner Win !

I've always used a Sidekick for SSB because of the deeper tone seems to work better for sideband the 3s though are a great all around desk mic. That's my 2 cents

Well you guys would have had a good laugh today seeing my old fumble fingers re-wire my old Turner Plus 3 mic but I Got Er Done. And now comes the learning curve. Looks like I have to turn the mic gain back on the radio but it sounded pretty good on my test radio in the other room. Of coarse after that I was compelled to check the wiring on my Turner Super Side Kick and found that was already wired correct so I tried that out also and that sounded good also. Unfortunately DX was starting to die out so I guess I'll have to wait to get some victims to try them out on. Like they say That's the way the Cookie Crumbles !

Nope. The control on the bottom just limits the control on the top. You open the control on top all the way. Then you set the control on bottom until you hit your goal. Then thats the max the mic will do with top control all the way up. This way you do not over modulate.

Well I'll be dipped! You are correct, sir. I looked up the instructions online. I've had one of these mics for years, and had been told a long time ago that it adjusted the brightness... sorry for passing along bad information.
