My first power mic was a D104 for the base and a 575-M6 for the mobile.

My brother had a Turner Super Sidekick on his 23 channel Midland Base rig back in the mid 70s. Really sounded good. I think he still has the rig and the mic stored away somewhere. I had a Turner M+3 handheld on my mobile Midland, in my 62 VW Beetle.
