<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Heard a very interesting comparison between a Heil
PR40 and Audio Technica ATR 30 on 75 M. I used to do sound/engineering for a
C&W band (part time) and still do sound for church. I was favorably
impressed by the ATR 30. IMHO, the PR40 is not worth the money for amateur radio
service. ATR 30 stands with the best. I have one on order. It has an XLR
connector, so there is a bit of work to interface it with the radio(s). I will
also use it w/o EQ. The ATR 30 is only $24! If you want to experiment with
audio, this is certainly an interesting mic to try. It should really do well
with some of the modern radios. If I had the opportunity, it would be
interesting to compare it to a Shure SM 57 (58?). I can't rember which was the
standard vocal mic. I suspect it would hold its own.</FONT></DIV>
