[Heathkit] dx-40

[Larry L. Laflamme]

Greetings; I am a new comer to the list with a few questions.

#1 Should I use shielded cable for the wire from the key (straight)  to the
transmitter?

#2 Since I really want to use AM, can anyone suggest a good microphone?
I have D-104 both amplified and non-amp.  I don't want to spend the cash for
a Heil Gold line, either! Oh, and a source for those button type mike
connectors.

I've got a few "rocks" and I'll get the HG-10 soon;  Hope to work you .
