Awsomme explanation of the boom arm. Just got the pl2t myself. I watched your video before I purchased. Thank you Mike

[nrrful]

In the military as a radioman we had nothing but Shure mics.

Yup, Heil 781, Heil shock mount on a Pl2T and a foot switch. Works good. Going to get a sister set for the 2nd radio in the shack. I like things to match.

[Dusty_Ham]

I love the set up! Looks great and very user friendly

[judgejudy]

Ya know, I've given you a hard time in the past. At least your not reviewing Ramon noodles!

Hi Mike, please show us a step by step setting this up with a mixer??

[aakonthego]

Or a headset mic. My home's HVAC air handler is 6 feet behind me and it's loud. Got to keep the mic close to my mouth to cut the noise out. And +1 for the foot switch.

Hey Mike, you’re absolutely right about the boom with the microphone love mine a lot I have the Heil foot pedal but I’m using my Kenwood MC 60 microphone with my Kenwood TS 2000. It is nice to have a hands-free but sometimes my kitties takes up to space at my desk. Oh well, have a great weekend.

I like the setup Mike, Now I'm unsure which way to GO HEIL OR SHURE FOR MY FTDX10.

[JReed]

Boom mic and a foot switch (a.k.a monolog switch lol) are the only way to fly. I have one set up for my G90 lol.

[arthurgumbus]

I too use the PL 2T and Heil foot switch for SSB Phone operation. Really works swell and is ergonomic as well. Hands free so I can type or take notes. Art W1SWL

My favorite boom arm is the blue compass. I paired it up with a shure sm7b microphone.

[ronwolenski-nwcr]

Is that the one you picked up at that hamfest? Looks great!

[timbrusky]

Can i get help< i just bought the boom the PL-2T and today my microphone PR77D, and come to attach to the boom it will not fit, and other attachments that goes with it? I called HRO Milwaukee, waiting for an answer back. Any suggestions or help, would be greatly appreciated

[buggzz]

A boom, good mic, and foot PTT switch are the only way to operate! Add a good external speaker and headphones and you're set. You'll never go back to a hand mic.

[aextraamateur]

Hey Mike, ive always wondered about these booms, but do you think the $13-$20 Ebay booms would be any good? They have external springs on them, but look

[Matthew-KNQHQ]

I’m waiting for you to yell out “This is my BOOM stick!”

[KYVY]

I’m curious about that Relay click on transmit, I smell a juice box ?

[ourrvtravels]

Curious if you ever use the vox instead of the foot switch.
