Since I have the Jackson on the air, what is the best mic for this radio? What are you Jackson owners/users using?
Thanks!

Hi Grinder74,
My PJ has been long gone but it was a talker, I used the Astatic D104M6, the 7v battery one not the new version (we are talking 1987). I think if I had it today I would go with an Astatic Road Devil. The radio already produces a deep tone audio so the mic would bring it up some.

I was thinking about the 104M6 but never thought about the road devil. I had a local tell me to turn my mic gain up the other day so I'm gonna buy a power mic.
Thanks,

Gratz on the new mic. Let us know how it works with that radio.

Are you running the old original Jackson or the new SuperStar/RCI JA President Jackson?
