I'd bet one could fairly easily sell a total lot of 100 adaptors..

The only caveat with the electret adaptor board is that whatever it is used on needs to have at least 6 volts open circuit bias on the carbon.
Most radios meet this criteria, except the BC654 and maybe the BC1000 which only have a 1.5V bias.

The Air Show and Military Rally season has started. Perhaps it is time to consider an overhaul or repair of your T-17. There are several mods for more consistent output unless you enjoy banging the T-17 on the side of the table. That black taped telephone button repair is kind of tacky.
