Somebody had mentioned in my other thread concerning Heil microphones that I might consider a Shure 450, or 444....(I think it was SR385, not sure)....
Anyway, I was trolling FleaBay again this evening and found both a Shure 450 with the Hi - Low impedance switch, and a Shure 444 with a Normal - VOX switch. Other than that they both look pretty much the same....
I'm actually thinking about one of these mic's for my Icom IC-2200H since I use it as my base station 2 meter. The one thing that may be a problem is the fact that the IC-2200H uses one of those damn modular mic plugs, so the question is, "is there"...... and if so....... who makes an addapter to transform from a standard Foster type mic plug to an Icom modular.....?
I would imagine one of those modular type plugs would have to be pressed on by a machine, I can't ever remember seeing just the plug for sale anywhere's......
Also, what's the general consenses on these Shure mic's....good, bad, or ugly......?
We got a couple of Shure 450 Series II mic's at our fire stations that are used for the in-house PA systems, but they aren't used on any of our radios, so I can't say I've ever heard what they some like on 2 meter FM......
