Alinco Condenser vs Dynamic mic. What do you think ?

[@rpcomms1]

I found the Alinco electrect mic with DTMF pad pad worked well,seemed to have clearer audio.

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

Ems57?

[@clintcornett79]

Just bought an Alinco DR735T Not a fan of the microphone that it came with What are the compatible mics I can use for that radio. Think it’s 8 pin. I was looking at a anytone mic on Amazon. It says XLR

Love your waffling Fred..........Thnx for another great vid mate.....73...Bob...G0KQR

[@bobdillashaw4360]

Condenser mic seems much louder but it sounded like a slight scratch behind it, but not enough to change to the other mic.

[@UDX-21]

I can't decide, but the fleas were white as snow, LOL Thanks for the demo.

[@vincec4641]

1st 👍 Great video as always Sir 😊 I would say the dynamic, it was nice and clear where as the other was a bit 'scratchy'. Keep up the good work 👍

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Its a close call :-)

[@barrychatwin661]

Definitely the dynamic mic for me on both modes (FM and SSB). It all comes back to you get what you pay for especially o this hobby.

[@Bernard-John]

hi mr fred,good video,tend to agree with your comments about the microphones,difficult to really make definite decision because i am now listening on my laptop,maybe on the icom it sounds different,keep up the good work,rotterdam.

[@davidbennett906]

The dynamic had the edge on FM to my ears Fred, but I preferred the condenser on SSB. Just a quick aside, have you tried any other microphone on the 9900? Just wondered if the standard one could be improved upon (being a new owner of the 9900 myself).

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

The KPO 532 power mic is a popular choice and sounds good if you dont push too hard. Ive kept to the standard mic as ive always had good reports.

[@davidbennett906]

@@CB-RADIO-UK Cheers Fred and noted. I rather like the feel of the standard mic to hold and the ability to channel change, so I'll bide my time for now. Keep up the good work buddy!

[@mikebolton5577]

Always like your videos. The Dynamic mic was better in FM and excellent on SSB too. Yes the condenser mic may sound a bit better it's not worth changing mics when changing modes. Stay with the dynamic mic full time.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I ve stuck with the dynamic all this week. Its PTT is a bit worn though.

[@mickibbett2120]

Hi Fred the same as Pukka dave condenser mic. It would be great in a pile up! Regards Mick (ct3060)

[@101jumpit]

EMS-53 on both FM and SSB for me Fred (Y)

[@Tobinindustrial]

That's a tough call on SSB for sure. I'd have to say the dynamic mic would be my favorite.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Thanks Andy. The dynamic was smoother on FM.

[@andy2E0JIU]

Condenser mic on both as punches through and a lot clearer 👍

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes thats the one ive been using. It has a clearer audio on SSB.

[@smithywick]

Condenser sounded better on both tests to me 👍

[@christophersmith1155]

try what we here in the usa do . use a Turner Plus 3.

[@mattcurtis3019]

Please help I want to get back in to side band an cb but only want to buy the best rig don't mind the cost thanks Matt 🇬🇧

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Matt your looking at a new HF radio. Icom or Yaesu are good but not cheap and cb legal. I got a Yaesu 450 D

[@johnnymac26]

mate you keep on waffling we love your waffles ha ha.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Ta :-)

[@christophersmith1155]

I LIKE THE DYNAMIC ON AM AND FM. CONDENSER ON SSB

[@thestonerguy5276]

Very close. I could pick either one actually, and suspect you'll end up with a 50-50 split in the comments.

[@j204ever5]

The Condenser Mic is in all ways better!

[@RobertChadwick-yb4jo]

audio weak on both was the processor on

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes it was.

[@rabbibacongrease88]

I like the condenser

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

It did punch well on SSB

[@ronvallon7806]

WHY YELLOW PAINT, YOU SHOULD HAVE USED WHITE ON THE KNOBS. I DO LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS ON RADIOS.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Its matt orange and matches the text on the radio.

[@MANCHESTERMAN01]

Why 2 KZbin channels.? not better to just have everything on one.?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Video time mainly. The longer videos dont do so well on Fred 1 and bring down the view duration rating. The video's on Fred 2 run longer and are more detailed.

[@MANCHESTERMAN01]

@@CB-RADIO-UK Ah right got ya.👍

[@asherdie]

Twice the monetization.

[@mattcurtis8209]

1 Mike was definitely better mate on both fm an ssb i though, coming from an audiofile chap 🔉

[@65nitehawk]

Condenser mic on ssb is better on fm not a lot of difference.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

It is sharper. Ive used the Dynamic all this week on the 305. Maybe i will swap it around and see if robbie notices :-)

[@RobertChadwick-yb4jo]

fittint the kenwood fist mic is better than those straight fit

[@mikehamilton1935]

Condenser all the way

[@kevinconnolly6330]

I think the condenser Mike was much better on ssb

[@hmo1234]

Dynamic is way better.... the condenser has a lots of S'es in your voice!

[@robpetoletti826]

Condenser sounded better on Sb.

[@derektodd4126]

Still waffling

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yeah i know :-)

[@charleswills4554]

Just forget about the hand mics and get yourself a D104

[@michaelmilenkoclewes572]

neither mic suits the alinco sr8 both sound pinched ,,,, put on a kenwood mic from a radio such as the ts 570 it will clear up that shite audio
