    It's very round. Modular was a bad word.

    some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

    That is the W2ENY adapter (I got the idea from the guy and started building my own) and costs about $25 new. I don't think it will work very well with a D-104 head. It will work wonderfully well with a cheap computer mic or headset. Set your "TX EQ" to "BB" and run your mic gain around "20". "15" for a head set. You can wire up a PTT Switch or use the send button (what I prefer) on your TS-570.

    Do you find your TS-570 to be as awesome as I do? I love this rig. Is yours the "D" or "S" and is it (g)? Mine is the TS-570S(g).

    I find the 570 to be a great radio. Mine is a D(g) so no six meters in it. Worked great when I used it mobile and it did a great job on the Mars bands. I will probably try one of the computer mics I have laying around. I could use the HRD computer to key the radio but I do like the old desk mic. As for the d-104 head, I was kidding about it. It is lost in a box in the garage somewhere...

    Put the mic on a boom and make/find a foot switch for the PTT.

    A great idea! You can even make your own boom and shock mount.... see YouTube.
