Mini Microphones for QMX SSB


 

The PUI element sold at Digi-Key is more expensive, and some people say it performs better in the SSB mode with the QMX.
?
The more expensive element is "hotter" AKA more gain (-24dBm vs -58dBm with the SunRom that I am using), so it should require less mic gain adjustment from the QMX.
?
I am still using a less expensive mic element in all the mics that I build. I have had good reports from the elements I am using, which are similar to the less expensive element listed in K6ARKs instructions. (I am using SunRom CZN-15E elements, their data can be seen here: ). Personally I have left the mic gain alone at 50 since I installed the SSB update, and have no problem with these less expensive mic elements picking up my voice. I test each mic I build by transmitting into a dummy load and looking at the waveform and listening on my SDR, on 6m. So far they all make a beautiful pattern in the SDR and have all sounded very nice. I have also had reports from others that they sound beautiful on the air, and so will continue using them because they have proven to work quite well with the current design, and are a cost effective option (and I bought a WHOLE BUNCH of them).

I see 2 mic elements listed, are they interchangeable if not what is different?
I have not ordered one of the kits listed for SSB however I have quite a few other QRP SSB rigs one of these would work great with.
I can print case so just curious about the mic elements

A good skill to have on this message group/forum is how to search prior messages.
There are several messages that have answered that question in recent weeks.
Just type Erik into the search box.

When you click reply, if you select "Sender" instead of "Group" below my name, it will send just a private email to me instead of to the whole group. Unless you want to tell everyone you want to order a mic.. :)

Yes I would like at least 3 please. Are these interchangeable with QMX, QMX+ and the (tr)uSDX?? I would like 1 for each radio.
I'm elderly now and have some vision difficulties & a bit past my prime in building stuff.

So how much is the cost how do I go about purchasing them from you?

Please advise 73 Sir

I' sending out a batch of mics today. I still have parts for more if anyone is still wanting one. I have shipped a few to EU/UK, but shipping is prohibitive. I can put 4 mics in a bubble mailer and stay under the 3 oz limit for first class mail, and one mailer going First Class costs me between $20 and $25 to get it to Canada or UK or EU.

Hi
there is a guy in the UK selling these as a kit (more expensive that Eric, but without the international shipping).
You need to solder the PTT and element, but does come with the printed case.

I replied to you privately Sandy.


 

Hi Eric - I would like one of your $15 assembled/tested mics in orange (or any available bright color) for my QMX. - How do you like your payment?

Shipping to Europe is very expensive for me. I handle it on a case by case basis, if you are willing to pay the shipping cost (which is more than the assembled mic) then we can work something out. Email me and we can discuss.


 

Hello, at the moment i can't see your email (difficulties with created account there) on qrz.com. And i see two Erik Larsons there. What about sending such microphones to Europe?


 

Yes, my call is AD7OV - I cannot believe I forgot to put that on the original post.. OOPS.. Sorry guys..?


 

I believe that Erik is AD7OV.
