Yeah its a weird way they made it. Good idea but I'm not even sure that would work. I did try a tip on my first 6666 was making the mic hole bigger, not recommended upon my experience as it just made it worse for me. Don't get me wrong like I said sounds excellent when it's not making those funny noises and like I said I don't know if it happens to everybody. I still think it's just a weird way they made it and just some way people pronounce their words as I have read some have no issue.
I bought one and it works fine except on mine the up channel button works and the down does not. Good sounding mic. I have just recently tried supergluing a thick fat microphone windscreen that I cut into a square, and the sound difference is like night and day. Sounds really good and no backround noise that was heard before. Note- I did try this to the 6666 stock mic and it still had this weird tone to it. The 520 sounds like a studio mic now. Try it without gluing first, see how you like it. I had a friends close base station recording me, really big difference. I would suggest make sure its that thick foam windscreen type. You may have to turn the audio up a litlle after. The one I used was a large size windsreen and I did the two mics with probably another two left for when these wear out. Might be better using a very sticky tape as well but i just used 4 tiny drops of gel around the corners. Good luck. P.S. If money is not a problem get a Palomar SL41 available in the uk right now(last time searched) for about $100 plus the connector(4to6), excellent noise canceling power mic. The 520 you can probably get for around $30.
Love the quote, I say I can do anything a 20 year old can it just might take me a little longer LOL!Ok thanks for the update and the info. I just now ordered a DNC520 mic from CQ Radio Supply. $33.95 shipping included.
At the worst I'll just end up with yet another mic to toss in the box.
Yes I mentioned it a long time ago. The DNC520 is one of the better options and sounds amazing on my radio anyway.
DNC-520 mic arrived yesterday. I did try it late last night but nobody on the radio to talk to.
I ended up talking to myself. I put a 300 watt dummy load on the Anytone and tried the factory AT and DNC-520 mics. I was using a Grant XL as a bench radio to monitor.
DNC-520 does sound better but I still get an occasional pffff sound but much less so than on the stock AT mic. I held a piece of paper towel on front of the 520 mic and the occasional pfff went away and everything sounded great.
Paper towel on factory AT mic and pfff still there. I'll try some foam, etc, and see how that does.
As others have said the channel up/down buttons on 520 mic doesn't work on the Anytone. The "down" button makes the channels go Up. The "up" button does nothing. Not an issue.
The 520 mic is a little more hefty and solid feeling than the wimpy AT stock mic...but not by much.
