Yeah, I got hosed on my M-1 as well. 1 month out of warranty, (1 year) I had to send it on because the EQ wasn't working right. Cost me nearly $300.00 to repair it. A $650.00 mic and lasts one year. Another $300 to repair. I'm still pissed about this one.

Greg if you ever get to try a Heil headset and utilize the VOX circuit on SSB you may like it. I did 35 years ago and never looked back. I don't know which rig you are using, but if it has a monitor circuit that is icing on the cake. I have no plans to ever own a desk mic.

The reason I haven't is because the mic I'm using has the 9 band EQ on it. I have an AKG headset that I used on stage and could easily use that if I wanted to take my mixer downstairs. But that's such a pain in the ass. Fabbing up a keying button is no biggies, and the mixer has phantom power, so that's no issue. I just don't know if I want to go through the hassle. I liquidated all my HF stuff last year and only kept the Stryker 955 and the Texas Star DX-500, and the Diawa meter and dummy load. I'm getting such stellar audio reports now that I hate to screw with anything. This is what I have now:

Wow 600-800 for a mic. I really like the EQ on it, too bad it wasn't 200-300 and worked on an ICOM 718 or 7300.
