I am a ham radio operator but have been thinking about
getting back into CB.
I've been looking at the galaxy base station radio.

Somewhere I also spotted a base station microphone
Which is prewired for the galaxy. It also had a built-in audio pre amp.
Some call it a power mike.

I'm interested in hearing galaxy owners how the radio performs and has anybody heard about this microphone specifically for the galaxy?

I used a 2547 for a little over a year and no complaints. I bought it from Coppers and had the aligned and tuned option. It is a great talking radio with a good receive. Like most Galaxy radios it will drift when first turned on a little but after 15 to 20 minutes it is stable. When I used this radio I bought the AST-878 Astatic with it which matched it very well. Most desk mic will work well, it use's a Galaxy/Cobra 4 pin wiring.
