[Milsurplus] [ARC5] "Throat mic" subject addendum

[Hubert Miller]

The point is not how these sounded qualitatively compared to other systems.

Apparently it worked well enough for Germany 1937 - 1945 to be retained,

even before war exigencies ruled out a search for something improved. This

means in all environments. One of the posts way back claimed throat mics

did not work. That is just silly. I don't speak Norwegian, but I'm sure I could

understand German or English from the microphone Mr. Fykse used. Also

consider that there would more often a limited number of phrases used, and

phonetics and Q codes. Yes, Q codes and other codes in ground radio use.

You're not attending a lecture.

Feldfunk c,  working around 150 MHz band, with throat mic and headphone. I have one

of these here I plan to sell this year, but I need to first look for the cable that went to

the control box attached to user's belt.
