Review on Astatic D104M6B Amplified Ceramic Power CB Microphone (302-10005, 4-Pin) by Dianne Williams

I wanted a microphone like that. I knew it wouldn't be the highest quality, but it's basically unusable. I've been listening to my show on webSDR and it sounds awful: every time I move the cable a little there's a loud cracking sound. Gain adjustment did not help. I used tape to better secure the internal wiring and reduce movement at the interface between the cable and the mic, which helped a bit. But I still hear a lot of extra noise with a slight movement of the cable.
