Microphone and stand

 

I would like an external microphone for the zBitx and a stand would be nice too. I would gladly pay for both as an accessory. Alternatively there could be an adapter for a standard microphone type, like Baofeng or Kenwood.

A stand should be steady so that the internal keyboard can be used. I was thinking along the lines of the KX2 with arms that rotate on the side.

Finally, there could be an accessory heat sink since it seems the unit gets rather hot.?

Thanks for reviewing my thoughts. Again, I would pay for these as accessories. Certainly couldn't expect them given the very fair price for the radio!

I assume the sBitx microphone would work. Is that an off the shelf item that can be purchased from somewhere else?

Paul Kelley, W4KLY, makes wood stands for Elecraft rigs and similar. He can probably provide a nice one..................

The stock sbitx mic doesn¡¯t work well on an sbitx in stock form due to lack of drive. ?It does work on the zbitx as I have used it but the zbitx also suffers from lack of mic drive. ?

I have modded the stock mic with a new higher gain element as have many others. ?I think the details are in JJs (64 bit sbitx) wiki page. ?The modded mic works very well with the zbitx.
