[450] seeking a microphone....

   Ok Bob,  had to find a 8pinYaesu to 5pin for my audio hook-up. I can tx 
with the limiter/comp/eq bypassed so you'll have an idea. It will however be 
going through a 12ax7 tube preamp and that might warm the audio a bit. The 
Sennheiser is fairly flat response while the Heil has a 10db rise at 
2000Hz(nice but still not worth the $$).   So if you go with the Sennheiser 
you may eventually want a small parametric eq.
   Hang on to that link Vinnie sent. MusiciansFriend is terrific for 
everything from audio gear to Telecasters. Got that MXL990 for L.I. for $59 
on sale last month. They also have a great l'il ART tube preamp for 
$29+chump change.
   I'll call from time to time or again tomorrow (woikin' 'til 7:30).
