5.0 out of 5 stars If you get a TalkAbout 250, you must get this microphone, March 21, 2000

The talkabout 250 seems to have a clunky design, specifically with the placement of the "Push to Talk" button. This microphone plugs in and allows you the ease and flexibility of a real microphone.

Ths microphone unit works both as a speaker and as a microphone. The speaker in this unit is superior to the internal speaker in the talkabout.

This unit allows you to put the radio in your pocket, or clip it on your belt and still be able to hear and talk on the radio. The microphone contains a clip that you can clip to your collar or shirt pocket that keeps the speaker close enough to your ear for you to hear anything, as well as close to your mouth for talking.

I strongly suggest that if you buy a TalkAbout 250 that you also buy this microphone.

This microphone does not work with the TalkAbout 280 which has different size microphone/headphone jacks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always the right connection?, December 28, 1999

If you need the perfect thing to connect to everyone else. With several options and a hassle free version of connection. You will always get a great connection, better than any other speaker/microphone. You will get greater clarity than a headset. If you need a thing to communicate with and don't want to use the internal Push to Talk (PTT) button, use this. I guarantee it.

It works OK, but I can't understand why it doesn't have a volume control. One of the major reason for purchasing a remote mic is to allow the radio to be placed in an unreachable location. The mic should have a volume control so that the volume can be adjusted without digging out the radio. I bought mine so that my radio could be buried in my backpack while mountain biking. After using it and cursing my inability to adjust the volume, I gave up on the remote mic and switched to a strap-mounted radio pocket.
