Radio Mic selection and usage

This video sheds some light on the microphone designs and how best to use them in amateur radio. I bring years of pro audio experience to the subject and show the pluses and minuses of mic types as well as the best way for the operator to position and use the mic. I hope you find this video useful; if so, LIKE it!
