2013 Desktop Mic Project

Club Activities

At the March Pawnee Amateur Radio Club meeting member WA0QCI showed the prototype of a desktop microphone that he had created for his Kenwood 2-meter mobile/base radio.

The finished product is shown below.

Desktop microphone homebrew

For this homebrew project WA0QCI used a microphone from a PC headset speaker microphone, a mic cord from an old handset, an impulse switch from radio shack and a small radio shack project box.

Update:

At the September meeting KD0OBA displayed his version of the PC microphone desktop microphone project. A jack on the side of the project box allows alternate microphones to be connected (for example a head-set microphone).
