[TenTec] mic for OII

[Ron Castro]

I don't think I have heard one on the air, but here is a description I found 
on the WB0W website about it:

"From the amateur radio division of Heil Sound, Ltd., we present the PR 781, 
a professional quality dynamic cardiod microphone for amateur radio that is 
specifically designed for use with most makes of Elite tranceivers of 
Kenwood, Yaesu, Ten Tec and iCOM. This is a truly remarkable dynamic 
microphone. Heil engineers were requested by ICOM to develop a very special 
microphone package for their new iC 7800 radio. They didn't want just a 
microphone; they wanted a SUPER microphone for a super radio. The Heil PR 
780 was born. The PR 781 is an improvement on the popular PR 780. The PR 781 
is a beautiful performer into just about any microphone input, such as TS 
870, 950, Pro 1, 2, 3, Yaesu Mv 5, MP, 2000 and 9000.

Using one of the dynamic elements from the Heil broadcast division, the PR 
781 offers beautiful wide frequency response while keeping that traditional 
Heil Sound articulation of the speech pattern something ALL microphones seem 
to lack and that has been the mainstay of the Heil Sound line up."

That's a lot of 'sales hype', but Heil makes good products, and I can't 
imagine that it would sound bad.  It would probably sound like a PR-40 with 
some high-end equalization.
