I'm using this on a desk mount for use with an amateur radio transceiver. I've added a 0.1 uF capacitor in the cable in series with the microphone to give some pre-emphasis to the sound. I'm using a separate foot switch to key the transmitter. On air reports have been excellent and I recommend this microphone for this use. For the price it's a high quality microphone far better than some of the over-priced microphones sold on the amateur radio market.
