Kenwood KMC-21 Shoulder Mounted Walkie Talkie Two Way Radio Speaker with Microphone, for Kenwood ProTalk and FreeTalk Radio, 2 Pin Connector

After about 24 years my yaesu FT-50r died and I purchased the new Anytone 878 to replace it. I just received the microphone yesterday to pair with this radio and the microphone fits nicely in the hand and is heavier than it appears to be. Although the case is plastic it does not have a cheap plastic feel to it, at all. The PTT button has very little side to side play and there is an audible and tactile "click" when it is depressed or released. There is a sturdy metal lapel clip with alligator teeth on it which is well anchored to the back of the case with a fat steel rivet. This piece is spring loaded and has notches to rotate the clip 360 degrees in 45 deg increments . There is a headphone jack on the bottom of the mic but I have not tested it yet. This morning I used the KMC-21 to check in to Rusty's Raiders Net in NM and received good audio reports. The coiled cord is a very generous length. I will buy more of these in the future if I have compatible radios and highly recommend this product to anybody who is contemplating it. Well worth the money.

Save yourself the hassle of buying the cheaper brands. You will only end up doing what I did - throwing that one away and buying this one. It is 4 or 5 times the cost of the cheaper brands but it is solid and works exactly like you want it to. My use is on car club "runs" using portable Ham Radios to communicate with the pack. I just plug it into my handheld radio and attach a cable from the unit into my car auxiliary (2.5mm to 3.5mm - purchased separately) and clip the mic to my jacket. I can easily talk while maintaining complete attention to the road and the sound is broadcast through the car speaker system for loud and clear listening.

Came exactly as described. I work in a quarry mine and hearing clearly amongst the numerous large and very noisy equipment is imperative.No issues holding up in my harsh work environment. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking.

Perfect replacement for my microphone whose cable insulation became degraded exposing the interior wiring.

This is a really great and well built microphone. Easy to use and the speaker sound is clear. Highly recommend this for your hand held radio.

Have used this on multiple fires and other incidents. works great sounds great and can take a good beating. good purchase for the money

Works great on Baofengs, and its pretty durable. I've dropped it probably 10 times now with no issues

On the air tests very good with my UV5X3. Does not key my Kenwood TH-F6 or my friend's TH-F6 so can't evaluate it on the TH-F6,
