well, as far as the throat mics, I bought a cheepie from ebay. it was made for cell phones and cordless phones (not the same plug as a two way jack)
the other side admitted they "could" understand what I was saying but it sounded like crap.
I had someone else use it and call me and I agree it sounds like crap.
the seller did say he would refund the cost but not the shipping. Since it came from China, its not feasible to pay for reshipping so now it lives in a box with lots of other junk.
the caveates are
- mine has ONE mic pic up (some have two)
- mine was cheep - about 30.00 (+shipping)
- maybe the ones for two way radios work better can't comment on that
- even if I could find a good one, I wouldn't be buying one for the wife!
