Anyone used one of these or know anything about them?

I have one here and after the first over, it's a bit slow powering up after pressing the PTT button and stations say that they miss the start of my over.

Where as on the standard mic, there's no problem.

Any ideas by any chance?

Thanks
I'd rather be barefooting....

I've got one, but it's now in the pile of stuff that needs repairing!

When it was working, it worked really well, but started to key up with no mod. Mine was bought from new a couple of years ago, so perhaps a weakness in the PTT switch on the later ones?

Never displayed the problem you are describing though.

maybe it's the same problem.

when on FM (does it on ssb as well of course) the power meter goes up immediately on pressing the ptt button, but people not hearing what I say for about a second afterwards.

Where as on the first over, no problem, just seems to be the subsequant overs in that session.

Thanks
Chris
