Hi sarma.

?

I¡¯m sure I have the polarity correct.? Someone on this list posted a drawing showing how to identify the negative terminal and I wired according to it.? I think the electret mic wouldn¡¯t work at all if polarity were reversed.? What is being powered is an ?F E T source follower.? ?I think I shouldn¡¯t have to raise my voice to get 5 watts output on 40 meters.

Max,

?please check whether the mic body is connected to chasis ground.

i mean the positive bias voltage for mic should come on independent pin and NOT to the body pin of the eletret element.

In case you are using a dynamic mic, perhaps we need more gain and your need to shout appers logical.

Speaking of mics, I have to raise my voice almost to the level of shouting to get 5 watts out on 40 meters.? Is this normal or should I look for a problem?

I had grabed a taperecorder mic with 3.5mm mono pin.
?replaced the cable with 2+shield.had a small pushed switchmounted and wired.
?repalced the 3.5mm momo pin to stereo pin. Here is a image of my mic.The pp9 battery helps to imagine the mic size.
