[TenTec] [Fwd: Microphone for Omni VI]

[Ken & Mary]

I got my first Ten-Tec a few months ago and love it. I decided to try it 
on SSB too and have hooked up a Shure Model 55, and also a Astatic D-104 
ceramic mic element. Neither of these mics seems to have enough output 
to really drive the rig properly or use the VOX. What is a standard 
Ten-Tec microphone? Does it have a preamp in it? How about a Heil HC 
element? Will it have sufficient output for the Omni? Any mic preamp 
circuits that are recommended for use with dynamic mics? What about 
modifying some component values in the mic circuit in the Omni. I am 
sure these topics must have been covered before and I have just not 
found it yet. Can anybody point me to the right information.
