Is it a power mic? Here is the description from customcb:
Description
OK...now that the factory stuff is out of the way..lets just say...THESE MICROPHONES ARE GREAT!!!!! We started carrying these in our shop and set up several microphone testing stations for customers to compare these microphones to the Turner RK-56 and Astatic 636-L. EVERYONE that tried these microphones bought them. Many came back and bought more. They are well built, with a better switch than the RK-56. The unique element produces 35% more audio gain than the RK-56 while still keeping background noise at a minimum. We are very impressed with these microphones and are proud to offer them for sale. SkyThumper Communications has a line of high quality CB Accessories devoted to the serious CB Hobbiest and Professional Driver. We will be offering more SkyThumper Products as they become available in the very near future. Check back often. The ST-65DX features a high quality, 6 wire Belden Cord that extends to 9 feet, high impact ABS plastic case with a coated steel grill, and a soft rubber lip guard. It is available prewired 4 Pin Cobra/Uniden/Galaxy/Connex as well as 5 Pin for Cobra/Uniden SSB, and 6 Pin for RCI-2950/2970. There is a 1 year limited warranty from SkyThumper Communications on this microphone. If you are considering a new Microphone give this a try..you"ll be glad you did!

That is a older description I am pretty sure. custom Cb radios and sparkys Cb shack carried these microphones years ago. My personal experience and that of others will tell you the switch is known to go bad. Again it is not a power mic and does sound good.
