Uniden 980..... Best Sound Quality Mic?

I have found the Workman DM507 microphones work well with everything I have tried them on. I don't have a 980, but for any Cobra 148/Grant XL/Washington radio they have been as good as anything else.

I can't speak to the 90's era Road King mics, but Road King, now, is owned by DAS Companies, who also owns Astatic, Francis, Wilson, and K40 (and some other random companies).

The primary function of DAS is to stock travel centers, such as Pilot, TA, Ambest, etc. Eventually, I will eliminate every DAS product from my radio setup, and replace it with something else. It just seems to me that quality is likely to be undercut by some bean counter; kind of like what I understand happened with Radio Shack branded products.
