Happy Customer:
I purchased the Astatic AST878DM Amplified Base Station Desk Microphone for Christmas. It has done a wonderful job talking to contacts I have made over the months, I have had it. I receive compliments on how good and clear the modulation is on this power mike. I use it with my Galaxy DX2547-G CB Base Radio, the the 2 together are a perfect match for communicating with locals, or for shooting skip when conditions are good.

Sounds tinny, good for AM but NOT SSB
Good quality, feels and looks good, feedback from contacts that who me and how it sounded before, with no other changes, this mic sounds like the old D104 power mics. When used on USB or LSB, it's way too high in freq , sounds like micky mouse.

Good sounding ic. Develops a scratchy keyup after about 2 months of use. Even after cleaning contacts several times it comes back.
