President Richard II + DIGIMIKE + DRX-9010 Audio Combo
The President Richard II audio combo brings together the AM/FM amateur radio, a President DIGIMIKE six-pin noise-reducing microphone and a Driver Extreme DRX-9010 external speaker. It suits an installation that already has an appropriate antenna system and needs an external listening speaker plus an additional microphone.
