[450] SM-8 microphone

[Shawn Zupp]

Some of you guys are lucky.

I've tried to hook the sm-8 between two icom 7000's.  And it's RF central. Even put snap on chokes on mic cords.

     Although it was the microphone of choice, I believe there were RF problems withe SM-8 on the Fireball XL5 as well.

I have had no RF problems with mine either,  the kenwood MC-85 (similar to the sm-8 except you could have 3 inputs) I used to have was the complete opposite...

A lucky exception, as is always possible.

I have mine hooked up the 706 and the kenwood. no RF issues.


Quoting Bob <n1ujs at toast.net>:
Agreed.  Will absolutely drive any radio and adjust to match response as well.  True, the mike "a/b" switch does not isolate the necessary connections.  For me, not an issue...."all radios must have a devoted microphone".....a reading from the book of Weedy......chapter 1, paragraph 2,  "shack practices"

PIcked one up on West Friendship, Maryland hamfest.
 
What a great mic - really drives audio, great communications audio.
 
only wish i could hook up the 2 mic outputs at the same time without getting RF……

Anyone who still needs one, there is one on QRZ....$110 is a bit pricey, but they are getting rare....
