I'm not sure of the frequency, it doesn't say anything on the microphone, its just a cheap one. I also found a condenser microphone on ebay which cost me 7 quid :mrgreen: it hasn't arrived yet so I dunno the frequencies, I'm gonna try the other microphone on a radio anyhow and see how It sounds. I've not made the circuit board up yet for the power part. I've got some actual radio mic pieces in my junk box, so I got plenty to experiment with. I just wanna make a couple nice looking desk mics, besides I'd probably get 70 odd quid on ebay for each one anyway regardless :mrgreen: :thumbup
