I replaced a 636L with a ST-65DX and reports from people I trust say it's louder and has a deeper tone than the Astatic on my Galaxy 88. Just my $.02.........

I have an old RK56 and it sounds better then the new ones.
No idea why. The new ones don't seem to have any freq response.

The Skythumper operates better than the RK56 even though the mic shell looks the same. Have Skythumper myself but I rarely use a noise cancelling mic.The 65DX is not a bad upgrade if you are a fan of the RK type mic..
Al @ Sparky's has a listing for one on fleabay for $19.95 right now versus the $31.00 or so previously posted before.

How the skythumper performs on your radio depends on who your "tecnician" is, and what he did or didn't do to your radio. If your tech is on the white list, then chances are pretty good that you will get nice loud audio without having to back your mic gain down to almost zero. If tr32 or r239 have been cut, bypassed, disabled, or if you have a swing kit in your radio, you will probably be happier with a mic with a much lower audio output level such as the Astatic (Omnitronics) 636L.
