[Elecraft] For Sale - Misc From a Station Build

Fri Apr 10 19:27:47 EDT 2026

speaking of expensive mics.... I worked for Sennheiser then AKG then 
Shure Bros,,,, sold a zillion microphones,,,  some of the best in the world.

Jim Is correct   MASSIVE OVERSPENDING ,,,    get a better antenna ...

when I saw """NEW  SHURE SM7B ... FROM ALI EXPRESS ( china)   FOR 40$  
--- SHIPPED  ... I had to see how bad it was ,,,we know they make great 
copies.

It even sounds ok for ham radio ...not bad at all..  They copies the 
manual  page by page   even the copyright on the back page, The 
packaging WAS BEAUTIFUL..

However the CARDBOARD BOX  in the colorful sleeve had the "usual" 
markings as to the name of the box company & location,,,, in ""EK PASO"""

GREAT shelf queen

for my station console I use an AKG podium mic .. ( new old stock 15 $ )
