Amazon Microphone for QMX ? QMX +??? Suggestions


 

Just updated firmware to SSB. on my QMX +, and am waiting a bit on the QMX.
My ancient Icom HM 125 ( rewired) worked for a few minutes and quit. ?I had expected that the official release would enable use of the internal mike?? ?disappointed. ??
These mikes seem quite inexpensive SO ----
Can anyone recommend a plug in ready to go mic from Amazon USA. Hopefully a product which has actually been tried and works decently ?with good sensitivity.
?
Yes,I am lazy and impatient ?(been waiting for SSB for over a year )and also 82.
?
and a bit of a rant
I'm also biased against manufacturers who cannot be bothered to have their websites work with safari - ?the qrp dudes want me to use firefox or whatever. ?If they don't have the competency to work this out, what about the product( mic) they are trying to sell me?

Both of these mics work for me but you have to wire two jacks. I¡¯ve heard my audio on the Sunday QRP net on YouTube and it sounds great.?

first one is $12 so pretty cheap.

I bought this $12 headset on a whim and have to say, I'm impressed. My plan was to cut the cord and split the wires into different connectors for mic/ptt & speaker, but it came with a splitter that already did that. So, I plugged the mic into my adapter & PTT box and the the headphones into the QMX+. Everything worked great. The earpieces measure 34 ohms at DC, so I assume they are 32 ohm impedance, a good match to the rig and sound quite good. I tuned around 40 meters and heard a POTA station in CT calling CQ, so I gave him a call and he came right back with a 57 signal report with good audio. Not bad for about 4 watts into a EFHW. He was running 10 watts and was 59 here in Los Angeles.

Lawrence.
I assume that you used VOX as there is not PTT on this headset.??

No Glen, I put a PTT switch in my adapter box which just wires the mic from tip to ring. It's handy, I can plug in any mic with the signal on the tip and give it a try. I like VOX for group ragchews, but I doubt I'll be doing much of that with the QMX.
