Electret (condenser) mics are widely used in pro sound applications. They
are very small, rugged, have a good pickup, high output, and usually very
wide flat response. All desireable qualities. I have a TenTec 705 electret
that came with the 564 transceiver and it is no exception to the above.
Perhaps the issue is that electret mics exceed the requirement of
"communications". I'm sure they can be built for lower cost than an equally
performing, less rugged, dynamic.

I am confident you are both correct.
It is not that electret condenser microphones have become unobtanium,
per se; but the particular OEM product TenTec previously sold was
discontinued by its OEM manufacturer, and considering TenTec rigs are,
by default, set for the typical dynamic microphone cartridge, it makes
sense TT has not, and may not, actively seek a replacement product based
on an electret condenser capsule. I would bet this item has a low
priority compared to other products, updates, etc., and (personally) I
would concur in that decision.
Just My take.
