John, what kind of audio reports do you get? Those are far more important than what a meter says. I have used Shure 444 mics on other rigs for years, and gotten good reports. They work on radios as different as a National NCX-5 and an Icom IC 202. I have used them in the past on my Ten Tec Argonaut II. I always got good reports, and I have a bass voice which can sometimes cause problems.

bob, compared to other rigs i have owned - that is what i am comparing to - also a 
paragon II i owned in the past gave nice high voice peaks with the shure 444D - ten tec 
has told me that there were about 6 different audio boards for the paragon and paragon II 
radios - could be that my paragon II had a better match with the dynamic type mics than 
my paragon does - i also had some yaesu and icom radios - none of which i used a dynamic 
type mic, but a "powered" mic and they all gave very nice voice peaks. by the 
way thanks for your great suggestion the other day regarding reversing the polarity on 
the shure 444d to increase the voice peaks - it actually helped a bit, but not as much as 
i was hoping for. like i said i have a ten tec mic coming on monday - i'll try that out 
and let everyone know. and yes i get about 120 watts in the tune mode. thanks again.

sincerely, john
