I picked up this little compact radio a couple of years ago ( less than $50.00 after rebate) and never really used it, but sitting in Waco , thought I would give it a try, and much to my surprise, this little thing rocks. Has plenty of features like weather, NB, talkback, built in ANL, 7 different colors, however no RF gain or Mic gain, level on both seems to be set right. Stock carrier is 5 watts and pep is about 25 watts and receive is excellent and white noise is average. Was watching a video review and see that a IRF 1310 mosfet transistor is stock, which I'm assuming is a high power final, my only question is about the mic, it comes with a 4 pin electret mic, which actually sounds really good, but if I were to try a dynamic mic would it not sound good, or would it work fine ? Thanks in advance for any helpful replys.

 

Came across this on another site, these are not my words : Radios with Electret elements use voltage supplied to the mic wire from the radio to power element. Use of a Dynamic or after market power mic can possibly damage both mic and radio and sound quality may suffer.
