[TenTec] TT 709 and Heil Mics for Orion

[k8jdc at sbcglobal.net]

Thanks to everybody for the feedback on the microphones.  I haven't seen too
many comments from 709 users, so I'm somewhat undecided.  (I'd rather not
use a desk mic, so that's why I haven't mentioned the possibility of using
something like the 708 that some of you mentioned).

Regarding the Heil mics, I've read posts that indicate that their output is
a little too weak for some of the TT radios and that some TT users have had
to utilize pre-amps to account for this.  I've been looking at the GM-5 and 
the PR-20 as
choices in the Heil line.  I guess I'd welcome comments from anybody using
these mics relative to the output capability of these mics and their 
compatibility and performance with the Orion.

Thanks...
