That’s funny…that’s the mic I am using these days!! I have the echo option. Station reports are it’s a lot more clear than the oem President mic. Using just a tad of reverb. No complaints on SSB!!

I have one of those, it is a great mic. Clean, clear sound. Bought it from Scott's radio.

Awesome!! Got mine from Mike as well.

Is there a way to change the microphone type on the Mckinley radio from electret to dynamic?

 

[Elliott Hart]

I think you can in the menu..

I'm not sure the Mckinley has a menu? or is it hidden?

 

[undertaker]

Try pressing the channel knob in..

I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly, there is no mic adjustment for EL or Dynamic on this radio. Just use whatever mic you want.

And I'll say again, I could be wrong. But I don't think so. Hahaha...

I will check again. The stock mic that comes with the radio is an electret type microphone(voltage is present on the audio pin). So if you use a non-electret type or a power microphone you need to turn off this voltage. if not; you could damage the mic and or radio.

Not on USA McKinley only on the EU version.

I never had a problem running a power mic with mine. I know several other who run a power mic with this radio.

I should get another EU version wish I had not sold it…

I'm liking mine so far. Going to do a video shortly as not many people in the USA know about the European cousin.

Thanks for the reply. Scotts radio also confirmed this.
