Who knows. I'm always looking for something. Although I don't like the RK56's.
I've also got an Astatic 575M6B for sale if you know someone who wants it.

Don't use a power mic in a mobile please, especially if you are running an amp. No one will be able to understand you they pick up way to much background noise. Use a skythumper ST-65 or a 636L in a mobile. My .02 cents.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I've personally never had a problem with background noise. Then again, I usually have the AC on though, so it sounds like i'm sitting in my house.

I would have to hear it to believe you, no offense I just have never heard a good sounding mobile station using a power mic.

I have been using one for the last couple weeks[a loaner...sorta] and i like it a lot.As long as you keep the windows up it sounds great,open the windows on the road and it goes to doodie though.That being said it certainly wouldnt be a good choice for an average big truck environment.Shawn
