[TenTec] Ten-Tec 706 Microphone

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Don't take the foam off.  It serves as a filter to reduce the effect of 
popped P's and huffed H's.  Plus it protects the element from moisture 
accumulation due to condensation from the warm moist laden breath.

No problem with RF here on either the desk mike or the hand mike.  I do used 
a carefully balanced feed for the antennas.  All baluns are 1:1 current 
types.
