[1000mp] MD-200A8X mic for $100

Hello Lou,

Many thanks for you very kind remarks.

Yes, you are quiet right about the filters. I must say that I am very
pleased with the standard Yaesu 2,4 kHz filters in the Mark V. Although I
did not have the opportunity to make a comparisation between the standard
Yaesu filters and the INRAD filters in these slots. Who knows what the
future will bring...

As soon as I have the 756ProII, I will try to make some remarks about the
differences between the ProII and the Mark V.

About the MD-200A8X. I am still very pleased with this microphone in my
shack. It looks great and it sounds great. One of the advantages is, that
this microphone stands upside in the right direction of the operator. It is
not necessary to make adjustments of the position of the head. And of course
the ability to use two elements is a good thing. I have respect for the
price discussion; the regular price in your country is pretty high.

All the best and 73!
Hans PA1HR.
