I'm looking to get a new mic to replace my stock Uniden pc68 mic. What is your favorite mobile mic and why?

Hi RRB,
I like Astatic microphones. I have good luck with them and get one for every new radio I buy. Clodhopper's RK56 is also a very good mic for noisy conditions. To answer your question we need to know the conditions you have like is it being used as a base station? Is the vehicle just loud (exhaust, etc.)? Are you looking for an amplified mic? Really the choice is yours.

My favorite mics for the mobile are the D-104M6B and the Road Devil, both made by astatic. The 636L is pretty decent too, but it's my least favorite. Another one I am pretty fond of is just the old plain jane Cobra stock hand mics.....the ones also referred to as the "coffin style". I always have good luck with those as a stock mic.

If your looking for a Mic with a little "Kick", and noise canceling capability, plus a echo board and a few sound fetchers, then the RF Limited Extreme 2018 is great!

If your wanting a good sounding, well built, solid noise canceling Mic, and not wanting to spend $50 for a Mic, then the Ranger SRA 198 is awesome...

In my work Van I have lot's of back-ground noise to deal with, so I use a SRA 198 on my Stryker 447 and people are always telling me how good my Base Station sounds... :lol:

In my Suburban tho I don't have back-ground noise problems so I use a RF Extreme 2018 with my Cobra 29 LX LE and it gives my Cobra that little extra punch, plus lets me have as much echo as i want without having to have a echo board added to the radio!
