    Something like that would only be worth taking a risk on for $100.00....

    Just ordered a Delta M2 desk mic.......

    Note numbers are upside down on the dials. Gotta love attention to detail.... And they saved 19¢ per unit in manufacturing costs by not including a lighted VU meter.

    Caboverbob microphone adventure

    Find a used clean "Extreme 2018" microphone. This is one microphone I will never let go of in my radio stable. It is a well engineered product with a perfect frequency response of 200-3000hz. Yes it has noise toys built in for fun, but that is not why I prize it. It has a beautiful...

    Radios and equipment for sale

    I want to thank H1driver for being an honest seller on our forum. And to put others at ease if making a purchase from him. I purchased a 2995DX from him for a tiddy sum of money and rolled the dice all would end well. Well, I received the radio and it looks like new yet was produced in th...

    Last words on the subject:. They claim it is a well designed product designed by some 40 year technician. They compare it to well engineered products such as the D104 or a Turner microphones. In reality a knowledgeable technician could have chosen a microphone element and trailered the...

    Many years ago there was an online retailer making themselves to seem bigger than they actually had been. In reality it was a company much like Delta Electronics in NY. Through slick marketing they advertised what they called a "Turbo Tune" they would do to a new radio purchase at a premium...

    Oh actually I have read ShadeTrees posts for a long time and I have great respect for him based on his helpful posts and I can tell he is really a good guy. But one needs to know the difference between a product that will improve your ability to talk DX and products that don't. Mike's with...

    Just ordered a Delta M2 desk mic.......

    "Woke" meaning, unable to crack a joke without someone being offended, when a joke is just meant to be a joke. Yes visually this microphone looks like something from a toy manufacturer. We are living in a time when someone is always offended by words, even a crack on the visuals of a...

    Here is the "legendary" Delta Electronics designer of high tech communication equipment! See photo #4 for store front. (Note: Proudly displayed their Delta M2 microphone in photo #1 in a truck stop radio shop quality display. Or that is their radio bench and they tune up radios with a Dosy...

    Just ordered a Delta M2 desk mic.......

    Seems who they really are is an online retailer not a manufacturer from the 1960's. They have a few low end meters, power supply, fan kits, etc under the Delta name. I searched also and there is no "Delta manufacturer" of this microphone.

    Just ordered a Delta M2 desk mic.......

    There is a difference of local audio reports on a rag chew and busting a DX pile up, where audio frequency response is the difference of being heard or unheard, understood or not understood. There is many times DXing I don't get back to em because for the life of me I can't understand them or...

    Looks like a knock off of this which has been around for awhile...exact same build quality, PTT switch etc. Actually the Galaxy is the better looking of the 2. If I was forced with gun pointed at my head to buy one I would buy the Galaxy.

    Delta M2 Frequency response is:. Frequency Response: 40-15000kHz Wide as a barn door and definitely not tailored for communications. Can't imagine how a single tone control would do much to close rhe barn door.

    I have been in radio since the 60's and never heard of them or some sought after microphone they produced through the years. Must be their 1st attempt. They are definitely not Turner or Astatic...
