Best Mic?

I guess no one likes this one. :confused:

I know the older wilson antennas were of good quality but I heard they were bought out and the mic looks like the cheaper mics you can buy at truck stops. Not saying it wont work I never tried it so I cant say. I do know I have used astatic mics before and always get good reports. Also they have been making mics for ever. One thing I have learned in my years of cbing is to buy brand names for what they are known for.

Wilson = antennas
astatic = mics

Things like that they just seem to be better quality and last longer. Like one other post said you also have to get a mic which works for your voice and setup believe it or not they arent all interchangable for the audio quality

Good advice I think your right. I'm going with the astatic d104m6.

Thank you all for your help and comments.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
