Recommendations for Best Mic on Ranger 2970N2

[sonoma]

I have a couple of the 1st CDL56 mics , the look a like for the RK56 mics and they seem to work just fine. they have just a little more audio than the RK56 mics I have. I have never tried one of the workman RK56 look a like mics as of yet since I have so many of the old RK56 mics. all I have ever had to do to the old ones is put a new switch in them if it went bad. I have about a dozen of the new switches to replace them if I can not clean the old ones up.
I use to change a lot of the switches out for truck drivers since they used the mic a lot back years ago and it swinging around in the cab it would get damaged. truck drivers would get rather rough with the mics for some reason.

I have run the 2970N2, 2970dx, 2950dx and the 2995dx, they all worked good using the 575 mic, but, the guys can really hear the difference in audio when i switch to the Tuner+3.

They do like the +3 better.

RK56. Yes, radio still in box. Got a Powermax 100amp to run it....um ....it's still in a box too! Have not been able to get the system set up yet.

Takes me a month. A month of weekends. Thus, half a year. Ha!

I can just imagine you, standing there in your button down shirt, penny loafers, and monogram sweater.....holding that Turner microphone and twirling the coiled cord thinking of Judy......

I always ran the Ranger brand radios both base and mobile.Had the best luck with the Astatic 575-m6 mic.

Came across a picture of a girl I’d admired in high school. Pretty then, and nice now . . . but I wouldn’t have recognized her. (60-ish)

With a few it’s been the voice that was the save. The combination of looks & voice.

Keep those contact switches clean, boys.

(Am I the only one feels greater affection for the ones I also knew in elementary school?).
