The Yaesu MD-100 (often found as the MD-100A8X) is one of the most popular desk microphones in amateur radio history. Known for its clear audio and ergonomic design, it has been a staple in ham shacks for decades.
This allows the user to completely bypass the active circuit. If this switch is set to "THRU," the microphone acts as a straightforward, flat-response dynamic microphone. B. LOW CUT (High-Pass Filter)
