Non Amplified D104

[-.-. --.-N3TU -.-. --.-]

Anyone ever use the non amplified D104 mic? If you have, how does it perform and what's it look like on the scope?  Does it sound good and natural without sounding like you are talking in a trash can? How do you compare it to other mics.

Not for about 35 years. :)  But it should work fine with the K3.
Plug it in and get some signal reports from a trained listener, then
tweak the TX equalizer if it needs it. I suspect that it won't need
much tweaking.

I use a forty-year old non-amplified D-104 with my K3.  Works
find.  Indeed, I had K9YC check my audio.  After a bit of fiddling,
Jim recommended no TX equalization for me.
