[TenTec] Mikes for Omni VI

[Joe and Tam BV/N0IAT]

Well...the only mic that I've ever run on my Ten Tec rigs
(including an Omni A, a Triton 4-d, and the new Omni 6+
is an old Astatic D104 non-amplified microphone.   I get
consistent unsolicited "great audio" reports.  I dont know
if a different mic would be better, but if it's not broken.....
