Since Clay's Radio recommendation was the RK56, I chose to have one included with my purchase.
Can't tell you anything yet....not hooked up. Trying to get my hands on 6 or 8 gauge wire today.
Need to check antenna connections out also before install.
But.....there's a gun show down in Robstown this weekend......so......maybe no get Round-tuit.

The old Turner SSB+2 desk microphone is a hard one to beat.
I use one on my RCI -2995 DX CF base radio.
Reports are always top shelf.

I also like the +3 or Super Sidekick
btw - if you are using this as a base you may not want/need a noise-canceling microphone.
I have a silver eagle I guess I could use!!!
Turner+3 or shure 526T gets my vote, I run them both on my 2990DX, also like my old astatic echo max 2000, find it similar to the turner +3
(Hmmmm . . . . the real question is which one he DOESN’T own: “Yeah, hey, Bobby, EVERYONE sez the went-out-of-production-in-1979 XXX is the one to have!!!).

If you already have a D104 go that route. I ran a couple through the years on a variety of cb/exports... always had good reports as long as background wasn't too loud. My rule was turn the D down all the way and then crack it open just a hair. Like 1/8 of the way up.. crank up the mic gain on the radio and let it do the work. Worked for me.
Enjoy your N2.. I have had a couple 2970s but never a N2 flavor..will try one out one of these days..

The neighbor just set up a 2950, and I don’t personally think the stock mic leaves a lot of room for improvement. It’s pretty easy on the ears.
Don’t blame you for wanting to try, though. I did the same with my Lincoln. After lots of waffling back and forth, I still favored the D104M6B, so that’s what I’ve been running.
Still want to try several others.

The newer style 29xx series stock mic is an improvement over the old coffin mic they used to come with. It also has a little weight to it which is nice.
As I rummage through the garage...I’m still wondering what this guy will sound like.
