PERSONAL USER REVIEW:
I have seen other Review’s on the CR577 microphone from RF Limited on the internet comparing it to the Discontinued Astatic 575 hand mic.
With my past personal use of the Astatic 575M6 I would have to say the RF Limited CR577 WIN’s hand’s down for: Clarity, Quality of Sound and Overall Performance.
The 3 radio’s I used in my on air testing from the Base Station and in Mobile use were:
RCI 2995DX with Copper Part #M60-07422 #C4PRI6 Mic Connector.
Superstar 158EDX,
Uniden PC78XL.
NOTE!
As different Microphone Tester’s offer a different quality of sound’s due to different built in speaker’s, I used the following Microphone Tester’s in testing the CR577 Microphone:}
The CR577 was tested with the microphone about 2″ from our lip’s in Base and Mobile testing.
NOTE!
Microphone Tester’s I used in testing this microphone were the:
Superstar T747 Microphone Tester,
Copper Part #E01-06025
Landmatic Microphone Tester
Diesel Microphone Tester.
Final Thought’s:
While the Astatic 575 microphone’s were and are very good microphone’s, if you like tear drop shapped mic’s, I would honestly have to say the RF Limited CR577 Full Sized Microphone is a GREAT Microphone that will work well with ANY radio and offer the user QUALITY Sound / Audio output.
