G7UFO Turret Mini Microphone for SOTA / POTA
Details
The K6ARK mini mic kit has proved very popular for OPs who like to build their own.
Built on the shoulders of Adams' K6ARK mini mic I've designed the Turret assembled microphone which uses essentially the same components but without the fiddly wiring.
Presented in a high heat and UV resisting PETG cylindrical case with 'bumpy' texture for improved grip. This is a great option for those who want an off the shelf backup or lightweight mic for POTA / SOTA.
Please enjoy my photo-editing skills bellow, I don't have all the radios!
