Background
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.
Description
This product is assembled and ready to use.
It uses the same sensitive -24dB microphone element as recommended by Hans at QRP Labs for the QMX line.
Please select your preferred case colour, PTT button colour and cable length.
