I've purchased a D-104 which was wired for a Kenwood and there's a
"fake-loo"  matching network in the base.  It consists of:

        a 10 k from the mic to gnd,  and

        a 22 k in series to the mic element??

This is an OLD Astatic D-104 with the riveted label and it looks like
it's probably using a xtal element but it sure LOOKS good on with the
rig.  Are any out there using this mic configuration with an Omni V or
VI?  Did you have to alter the matching network?

So far the audio reports with this configuration have been good but it
needs a bunch more gain to trigger the ALC!  (Now set at 12 o'clock).
Any suggestions on the matching configuration would be appreciated.

Thanks,
73 de Rick
