This applies to the zbitx as well as sbitx. ?

I have both and the recommended mic element works great on the zbitx as well

A bunch of folks have discussed microphones, I searched simply for ¡°MIC ¡°and got 4000 hits.

Here is one article:




Gyula has also provided some fantastic options, and JJ I think has an entire page on it that he provided. They¡¯re just lots of boys to do it, but you have to know that the sBitx ?needs a lot of audio! ?
Wishing you good luck!

Hi there,
?
I am using the W2ENY desktop mic for Sbitx with good reports. See: ?

Received good reports using the internal zBitx mic.

I also have the W2ENY desktop microphone for the sBitx. ?I have the one wired for Xiegu. ?I have gotten many unsolicited excellent audio reports. ?It's a great mic and the color even matches the radio!
?
I sold my sBitx microphone to somebody after warning them how bad it was but they wanted it for something else anyway. ?
?
HFSignals should sell this radio without that garbage microphone. ? And they could probably shave $2 off the price of the radio.
 

Hi!
I refurbished a headphone with ptt from a baofeng radio and made a small PCB with the circuit.?

also KI6NAZ, Josh in his videos recomends a specific reference from digikey( see attached image it¡¯s a printscreen from his video)
