They're a good inexpensive power microphone and do pretty well with many radios. There's not a one size fits all on the settings which really makes it nicer because you can tailor it to your rig and your likes. Even though they're produced side by side with hundreds if not thousands of other microphones just like yours, they aren't all going to be set up exactly the same. Just play with your adjustments and see what you like and what functions we'll with your radio. I will say is just don't get too rough with the internal vr's because again, it is an inexpensive mic with inexpensive parts. For the money, they are a good inexpensive microphone though. If you run into feedback problems, there's a capacitor mod you can do to cure it but it's mostly only an issue when running high power radios or amplifiers. Stray RF really gets those mics due to lack of shielding. I've even drilled 4 small holes in the back of the mic case and you get an even more distinct sounding microphone. Once set correctly I think you'll be pleased
