Default Re: Memories and other stories from Pye etc PMR engineers.

I think only used with radios on repeaters? Although most MF6AM and all M293/294 used the ladyshave mic, none were fitted in my area. My customers all had their own base, simplex or talkthrough. The beauty of that microphone was that with a small change of components it could be either am or fm. One downfall was the clip stud rivet often broke away, leaving a steel washer rattling around inside and no means to fix the mic into the dash mount clip. They were a natural shaped microphone to hold in the hand though.
