It's pretty hard to beat the Ten Tec 705 microphone for good fidelity and
simplicity. If you want to step up to something of an even better quality,
you may want to consider their new Studio One mic or Heil's Goldline.
Since the Omni's transmit audio is pretty much limited to 2.4 khz on the
upper end of the audio spectrum, I would not recommend broadcast mics or
quasi-broadcast mics like the Heil Goldline Pro.
Another option in which the transmit bandwidth can be extended slightly is
to install INRAD's 2.8 kHz filter in place of the stock 2.4 kHz @ 9 MHz
filter.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni V Audio improvement
I had been running a stock Kenwood TS-440s for some time and have just
stepped-up to an Omni V. To my disappointment I have not been getting
as good of an audio report with the Ten-Tec rig. Both radios are using
the original hand-held microphone.
Recognizing all of the benefits of the OMNI; I would like to upgrade the
microphone to resolve the issue. I have heard of a myriad of solutions
that lead to Hi-Fi audio but would rather keep it simple and keep the
cost of the fix less than the cost of the radio :-). Any suggestions as
to a good solution and sources for the hardware are appreciated.
Thanks and 73 de Jeffrey Modlin
