Subject: High Impedance Mic

I am just getting into radio's that glow and I have a question about
Microphone Impedance. I have a Viking II and a D104 with built in
pre-amp. The info I have on the Viking says it requires a High Impedance
Mic and I think the D104 has an impedance of 5000 ohms. Can I use the
D104?

Collins Antenna Test Set  - case says: AN/GR107

Inside has Model TS3309/G

It has 5 analog meters on it - phasing, loading RF power
Lots of lights on it.

What is it? Anyone know what it was used with?

What is it worth

Subject: Value of Bird 4350...

Hello all,

I have a friend who wants to sell me his Bird 4350 watt meter, but 
we have no idea of how much.   The 4350 apparently differs from
the 43 in that there are no interchangeable plugs for different
ranges and frequencies.  It is simply 200/2000 with reflected and
forward readings.  Sounds like a standard shack SWR meter, but 
higher quality.

I searched the web for one for sale, but found none.

Any ideas on how much it should be?  I had never even heard of the
4350 before this.


Thanks,


Dave WB7AWK

Several thoughts, Gary.  If your D-104 has a crystal element, it is high
impedance.  If is is a dynamic element it MAY be a lower impedance,
although the dynamic and crystal elements for my D-104 both worked well
with my 32V3 when I had it.  Off hand, I'd think that you have a high
impedance mic.  Any other thoughts from others?

Howdy from Texas;

   This is only a guess, but it seems to me that in the last century,
people were more into protocal than today. In that belief, maybe CQ stood
for 'Call to Quarters'.

   Just a thought.
