AMPLIFIED DESK MIC FOR 959?

[Stellasstillarat]

The 959 in question has extra channel's otherwise its stock. Is there an amplified desk mic that matches this rig nicely?

This rig will be used on ssb only. If an amplified mic's not going to benefit the ssb audio is there an unaplified desk mic that will sound well on
ssb?

I will be using it strictly as a base.

Astatic 1104c.. if you can find one.

This radio uses the standard mic wiring for Cobra, Ranger, Uniden, Connex and others. If you want a decent echo mic, the RF Limited 'Xtrreme2018' is an excellent choice. A D-104/TUG-9 is cool. Or even go hifi if you can dig it . . .

Good alignment, using a scope to set the modulation and stock mic non amplified works great on the 959.

The 959 as well as most galaxy line of radios have great audio just aligning them.

Power mic tend to over modulate and splatter ( most AM ops say this sounds good).

If adusted properly it can be made to sound better but hence the adjust properly part.

When I had a 959, I tried all kinds of desk mics on it. Sadelta echo mic, Galaxy echo mic, D104, Turner Plus 3. They all sounded very good. So did a Red Devil, Xtreme 2018, D104m56b, Astatic 636L, and Turner RK-56.

When I had my 979 I used the Astatic 636L
I also use it on my 99v2.
Sounds great.

This radio uses the stand mic wiring for Cobra, Ranger, Uniden, Connex and others. If you want a decent echo mic, the RF Limited 'Xtrreme2018' is an excellent choice. A D-104/TUG-9 is cool. Or even go hifi if you can dig it . . .

I assumed a high Z was no good for this modern rig. I need look no furtheras I own about 20.I do own a one tthat's wired for a four pin cobra. Thanks

Never echoed. Never beeped. Never will.
