I picked, by the sound of his voice on the tape, the best sounding
mike....and when I had, he asked me for 3.95 for the mike.

I went home and that evening checked into a Maryland net that I hadn't been
in over 30 years.....and some of my old budsasked if I was using my TR7 (g).

That sounds like my mic! 

Mine's the inexpensive ($2 or $3) Radio Shack electet element that I mounted
in a housing that had originally  held a cheap dynamic element. It has the
best sound for me out of a number tested, including some pretty nice "hi-fi"
mics. 

It is also very important to have the BFO settings correct. No mic can make
up for having the passband positioned incorrectly.
