[Yaesu] FT2000 Proc

[Jim Hargrave]

While we are on Mic's, don't forget the trusted D-104. Its one of the best
sounding mic's for DX work. I have adapted mine to every rig I have had
since the 1960's. I currently use it on my FT-920 and have excellent results
with good audio comments. My son-n-law also uses one on his Icom 756ProIII.

I also occasionally use my Astatic DM-500, which is of the same vintage as
the D-104.

Just because its new does not always mean better....

   >Hart:  If you want excellent audio, I would suggest that you
   >acquire a good dynamic microphone such as the Shure 444D desk
   >microphone. Even though they're an older mic, it's not too
   >difficult to find them used at the flea markets or on line.
