Effectiveness/clarity of throat mic?

[Gary G]

In considering my current comms setup, I'm a little curious about
how well the throat mics work.

Since I can get a separate throat mic and use my new in-ear custom
fitted, whooptie-do, gee-whiz-bang headphones, it might
be an interesting option.

Thank you and regards,

Gary G.

Most of the throat mikes out there are the old, WW-II carbon mikes,
which require an occasional solid rap to get the carbon granules
separated.

They do not have the fidelity of a dynamic or electret mike and may come
off as scratchy or distorted in use.

There are some modern design throat mics on the market...
