Astatic 575-M6 'Teardrop' - One of the best, but pricey because of it!
The K-PO NM-532 is cheap but works well, sounds great and is comfortable to hold.
The one you mention (Road Devil) is also good, worked well on my Lincoln.

Re: Microphone recommendation President..
To be honest I don't think those radios need a power microphone.
A standard one will work just fine if the radio is setup correctly...

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

I'll second that - Astatic 575-M6 'Teardrop' - tried many mikes over the years, but the best on every radio I ever used it on (mobile & home based). Just wish I could afford / find one now.

Re: Microphone recommendation President..
Ofcource I could take a Trump but unfortunately my voice is not the best in SSB mode.
I have got positive response in FM mode with the original mic. but I can also see for my self on the power meter that I'm not able talk the radio up to a good poweroutput I SSB mode and station that I try to get in contact with confirm the same.
The Astatic 575-M6 sounds great after looking in a tube video but I can not find it on sale except from a few overpriced on ebay so I think I'l go for the Road Devil
Thanks everyone

Re: Microphone recommendation President..
If you are asking about the new mk2 versions of the radios most of those microphones mentioned you may have problem with them working because most of the newer versions have what is called electret mics systems and most don't like having or don't let a power mic work on them , but saying that if you are asking about the proper old President versions of the radios mentioned any of those mics mentioned would work great

Re: Microphone recommendation President..
You might have a problem then , not saying you will 100% but I fine most who have these new radios find it hard to fit old skool power mics because of this electret style mic that the new radios seem to have

The K-PO NM-532 is a good all rounder. A great sounding power mic for less than £20!
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!
Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...
