The little square mic's sound very good on those , unfortunately , no mic gain on that radio like many others like it. Do you remember those old NC power mic's radio shack put out ? Those always sounded fantastic on SSB on those perticular Uniden boarded radios. You could more then likely pick up one in excellent condition on Ebay already wired for the 465 for under 20.00 bucks shipped. They made 3 of them in that style , all the same with different battery powers , 2 x AA / 1 x 9 volt and 1 x 7 volt (you can use 12 volt garage door batteries on those that will work just fine , you can find those at Walmart for 2 in a pack for about 1.88)NC RS MIC
It's all good Doc. Those are very decent little AM/SSB'ers , I never had a problem with 20 watts pep out of them even running power. Those radios will take an Expo or Galaxy kit if you can fine one , I always found the expo's to be a real bitch on those when trying to alighn them if you will , The Galaxy N kit's I found were the best and easiest to install on those and gave no problems as far as alighnments went. The N kits gave you all upper channels above 40 , which is usually where SSB'ers do there thing anyway. There's also one other way , you can change the chip but , you also have to give the radio a good 5 khz or more of slide to make the replacement chip work to get on freq , just another pain in the ass even though they will work. The Galaxy N Kit's are truly the way to go if you can find one. Enjoy
