I've heard people say the stock Mic. is fine, but I have a Silver Eagle and a Astatic 1104-C, and just curios what would be a good choice. One of these including the stock Mic. or something else? |

Bob p,
The Silver Eagle as well as the 1104C would all work well with this radio as well as the Stock Mic you have.
The SuperStar DM-452 also works very well with this radio. Not a lot of money and works GREAT!
I use the DM-452 on my 2970DX as well as my 2995DX and I just barely open the echo to the first dot on the mic.
Check out the link below:

Hope this helps.

The question really is which mic works best with your voice? Microphones have different responces and some sound better than others with individual voices. The 2970 has a low impedance microphone input, which means it'll work with most mics.
The best way to tell is to wire it up and give it a try! Switch between the stock mic and another mic while chatting with someone you trust to give you a good report. Some people prefer the sound of a particular mic - especially D104's. They're so common people are accustomed to the voice responce they have.
You could also listen on another radio with headphones while talking on an open channel. I actually tape myself from another radio because I can listen more carefully while not speaking.
Good luck! |

I've heard the Turner +3 and +3B sound great on SSB, but have only heard one recently and it did not sound that great. I like the way the Turners have their push to talk or press to talk bar set, and the lock. Of course the 1104-C has a very similar set up. but I just ordered the radio and actually someone told me the Astatic mic's might cause problems on the RCI radios for some reasone. Of course they were trying to sell me a D-104 Special. Thanks for the response and I'm glad to hear the mic's I have will work. |
