Good deal. Also not sure if you are aware of some nets you could likely hear, here are a few nets I join into sometimes. [Please login or register to view this link] . Normally 3.925, 3.910, and there is one on 3.905 but I dont remember the name of it.

I would say it is not a bad microphone but I personally am not into "echo". For your Galaxy base, a nice TUG or TUP9 stand D104 (6 wire version) with a W2ENY element mod or similar would be the ticket, or a Turner +3, it has a bassier tone.

Yes, I saw that also. I'm not a big fan of the Echo feature but I like the unit and will most likely purchase one for my CB Base in the future.MDYoungblood wrote: November 20th, 2019, 6:54 amDid you notice in the pics he has the "Echo" turn all the way down.ExtraClass wrote: November 20th, 2019, 5:01 am Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and comments.

You have a Happy Thanksgiving as well.
If I bought it, it would be hooked up and I'd just wrap the box for Christmas. JK..

I have received good feed back from local CB'ers that my new Galaxy desk mic is working well and my modulation is very clear. Glad I purchased it although I really don't use the echo talk nor the roger beep functions that much.
