Works great for a ham radio remote head
I bought this for a remote head ham radio. The unit has a strong magnetic pull to it with no electronic after effects. It's so strong its a little tough to pull off the remote head straight off requiring me to twist it. I can't speak to the suction power since I mounted it with adhesive with the supplied kit (works fantastic on a slightly bumpy surface).The only nit (and a minor one at that) is that the extension neck doesn't lock in its position like the elevation lock does, so it will extend when pulled on. Not a huge problem. Would definitely recommend for either a remote head or phone application.

Nice little soundmodem interface
A very inexpensive way to add a dedicated soundmodem interface (i.e., for ham radio digital modes) to any computer. The compact size compliments netbooks especially well. Rugged aluminum shell. Uses the generic usb audio libraries included with every modern OS, so it works out of the box with nothing extra to install. Did I mention how inexpensive it is?

It works great . This is inexpensive but it is not
I saved at least a Benjamin by using this mike, If I am allowed a nit to pick , the technical infois inadequate. I am switching over to these microphones for my Ham Radio transceivers.A bunch of digging on YouTube revealed how this is done.

Perfect for Me, Almost for Others
Works great with my ham radio to allow me to have a dedicated sound card for digital modes like PSK31, JT65, RTTY, etc. Installs without drivers under Windows 10. Seems to be of adequate quality physically, and doesn't weigh enough to worry about it falling out of the USB port on the back of my desktop. Slim enough that on my desktop (which has vertical USB ports) you can still use the port right next to it. It is, however, wide enough that on my laptop which has horizontal port, you cannot use the port next to it.I took off one star because the Left and Right channels were reversed on my model. Not a big deal for me since ham radio is mono and I have both channels tied together, but for some it may be an issue.

Works like it should
Works like it should. Used this to connect an old laptop to a newer monitor. Just plug it in on each end and it works. The picture quality is fine. It’s part of a ham radio setup so it’s not used for movies or gaming but it certainly does the job for our use.

Works like a charm!
Using this for 2 monitors for a HAM radio station. Love that they can be easily adjusted without having to get out tools. Very sturdy. The monitors don't move or bounce if the desk is bumped. A nice feature is you can mount this thru a grommet in your desk or via a clamp to the edge of your desk. Would highly recommend!

Great external speaker.
The speaker is small, has excellent sound quality, the mount is very robust, generally a well made product. I find the speaker to be a great value and would recommend it to anyone who needs an external speaker for their ham radio especially in a mobile application.

Good cheap headset for ham radio
These are packed in my IC-7300 field box and work great. They fold nicely and take up little space. For $10, I will be getting more for around the house.
