Heil PL 2T Microphone Boom Arm for Ham Radio

[@nr3rful]

In the military as a radioman we had nothing but Shure mics.

Awsomme explanation of the boom arm. Just got the pl2t myself. I watched your video before I purchased. Thank you Mike

[@davidsradioroom9678]

Looks really nice!

[@1958johndeere620]

Yup, Heil 781, Heil shock mount on a Pl2T and a foot switch. Works good. Going to get a sister set for the 2nd radio in the shack. I like things to match.

[@hamradiotube]

Thank you!

Ya know, I've given you a hard time in the past. At least your not reviewing Ramon noodles!

Hey Mike, you’re absolutely right about the boom with the microphone love mine a lot I have the Heil foot pedal but I’m using my Kenwood MC 60 microphone with my Kenwood TS 2000. It is nice to have a hands-free but sometimes my kitties takes up to space at my desk. Oh well,have a great weekend. WD5ENH Steve

I too use the PL 2T and Heil foot switch for SSB Phone operation. Really works swell and is ergonomic as well. Hands free so I can type or take notes. Art W1SWL

Daaamn that's neat setup.

[@JReed305]

Boom mic and a foot switch (a.k.a monolog switch lol) are the only way to fly. I have one set up for my G90 lol.

[@aa3konthego]

Or a headset mic. My home's HVAC air handler is 6 feet behind me and it's loud. Got to keep the mic close to my mouth to cut the noise out. And +1 for the foot switch.

[@ac1o]

My favorite boom arm is the blue compass. I paired it up with a shure sm7b microphone.

[@hamradiotube]

That looks like a great boom as well. I've looked at those several times.

[@ac1o]

@@hamradiotube yeah I like them so much I ended getting a total of eight of them when I was podcasting with my family.

[@buggzz99]

A boom, good mic, and foot PTT switch are the only way to operate! Add a good external speaker and headphones and you're set. You'll never go back to a hand mic.

[@hamradiotube]

I just can't get into wearing headphones. I've never really liked wearing them.

[@Matthew-KN4QHQ]

I’m waiting for you to yell out “This is my BOOM stick!”

[@hamradiotube]

Oh man that would have been a good one.

[@ronwolenski-n8wcr]

Is that the one you picked up at that hamfest? Looks great!

[@hamradiotube]

Yessir. It's great.

[@timbrusky1]

Can i get help< i just bought the boom the PL-2T and today my microphone PR77D, and come to attach to the boom it will not fit, and other attachments that goes with it? I called HRO Milwaukee, waiting for an answer back. Any suggestions or help, would be greatly appreciated

[@aextraamateur9828]

Hey Mike, ive always wondered about these booms, but do you think the $13-$20 Ebay booms would be any good? They have external springs on them, but look ok.....

[@wkirbyw4hkj260]

Good afternoon folks

[@hamradiotube]

Good afternoon.

[@K5YVY]

I’m curious about that Relay click on transmit, I smell a juice box ?

[@hamradiotube]

I would imagine you are hearing the footswitch being pressed and released??

[@K5YVY]

@@hamradiotube I believe you now 😎

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

Heil mics suck with exception of one PR40. All the rest suck esp for ham radio. I prefer the Electra voice re27ND and you can get them used for 250ish new is 500 but well worth the $ don’t waste $ on the Yaesu mics or anything cheap they may sound ok but once you move away they start to pick up a ton of room noise and fan noise sum even are effected by RF so yea do research before buying a mic 😉😉

[@hamradiotube]

Good thing I have a stash of Shure mics lying around. I've not used a Heil. Those EV's are very nice too. If I really felt like splurging I'd prob get a Shure SM7B.

[@ourrvtravels7183]

Curious if you ever use the vox instead of the foot switch.

[@hamradiotube]

nope. I swear too much to use vox.
