Hi there People.

Well, I've ordered my BITX V6.? now I need help choosing a better microphone. I want to get a better quality one, either noise cancelling or Speech processing. Also, what is the microphone connector??? I am planning to use the radio outdoors a lot.

Can anyone recommend an internal battery back that might fit and rain proofing?

regards

Decide your operating style, hand mike or headset. I use a pc headset with an adapter with my main rig. For ubitx I grabbed a surplus HT speaker mike, and found it works wonderful with the ubitx.? I got lucky. Since there is no ALC with ubitx, audio varies unit to unit. Plan to experiment a bit, maybe no mike is plug and play. Some do add a speech processor board but mine is working decently without it. Wild guess is you may need to change connector or adapt on your candidate microphone. When someone says xyz is perfect, your rig may play different or you may need to adjust a resistor in the transmit audio circuit.

Hello, i had a lot off prolems with the BAofeng mike, after killing this mike :-)) i put a electret from aliexpres in it, changed the C's and changed the wire to a straigt cabel (old stereo audio cable from HK speakers) connected them and super sound. Still working to make a little ajustable mike amp but no time.

I don't have good experienc with the supplied microphone and prevere to work with dynamic microphones like used on my old Yaesu's and use on my?. So I build a dynamic microphone amp so I could use those microphones on my uBitx :

The supplied mic is nothing to write home about.? As a minimum you can enlarge the front hole.

The PTT sw is OK.

Just be aware that the plug is standard 3.5mm stereo, in which the center pin is the PTT push to GND signal.

So whenever you plug it (or other plug) in/out the the uBitx will go into Tx.

Zvika,

To be clear, the mic plug is a 3.5mm stereo with Tip, Ring, and Sleeve (TRS) connections. NOT the normal smartphone type of plug with two rings (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve plug).


The mic is connected from the Tip to the Sleeve and the PTT switch is connected from the Ring to the Sleeve.

Your comment on the rig going into transmit mode if the plug is inserted or removed with the power on is correct.? You want to always insert and remove connections to the ?BITX when power is turned off.

I really like this powered mic on Amazon:

You can either change the 4 pin plug to a 3.5mm plug or as I have done make an adapter.? I have both older ?BITX in cases with the 4 pin connector and a new v6 with the 3.5mm jack.
