    A thousand "thank you"s Good sir! I've been putting together some junk CB radios for the Boy Scouts from a bucket of yard sale mix and match. I couldn't figure out why 2 of the radios just wouldn't work right. I had no idea that the hand mics weren't universal.
    20 minutes after watching your video and taking notes, all the radios are working perfectly.
    Thanks again, and a thousand times thank you!

    During my junior year in high school, 1977, I managed to pass the exam for the Second Class Radiotelephone Operator's License (now "GROL"). I was the only kid in high school who cleared $200.00 per week "peaking/matching/repairing, and replacing blown finals".
    It was a good way to meet women, too!
    Do I ever miss those days! Should you ever have the opportunity to purchase a Hy-Gain CLR-2 Ground Plane Antenna, grab it, as there was never a better antenna than that skyraker!

    Thanks for a very helpful video. I have a Fanon Courier mobile CB with a non-working microphone, if a picture is worth a thousand words than your video is worth a million.

    So in this case, the radio was able to go into TX mode via the small, series resistance of the mic insert. It would be a good follow up to further educate your audience on such a scenario with a diagram. This understanding only helps people figure out the mic wiring, sometimes without doing the radio test because you identify the small, but larger resistance of the insert (most commonly wired dynamic, moving coil type mics, never put a ohmmeter on a crystal mic element).

    Great video. I just bought an Astatic 878 DM pre amp desk mic and it is a 5 pin plug wired for Cobra & President and I have an RCI 2980 WX 4 pin radio. I did buy a plug adapter but still not working properly when I key up. Carrier on AM but no modulation. Is it just a matter of rearranging the wires on the mic plug? Thanks

    Hi ,You made it look easy, the hardest thing is seeing the small numbers on the mic plug.

    Need to know how to wire an Icom SM-8 desk mic to a Radioddity QT40 radio. I think the QT40 is same as Cobra 4-pin radios.
    Pins on the SM-8 are:
    1) MIC IN
    2) 8 V
    3) Up/Dn
    4) N/A
    5) PTT
    6) GND
    7) MIC E
    8) N/A
    Cobra appears to be:
    1) Shield & Common
    2) Audio
    3) TX
    4} RX
    So from top to bottom list:
    6 --> 1 ?
    ? --> 2
    5 --> 3 ?
    ? --> 4

    Do you have any videos similar to this but explaining how the PTT(push to talk) button works inside of a microphone? I'm trying to fix/replace the mic cartridge on a whelen 295hf100 siren but i wanna make sure my wiring is in the right location on the PTT switch. I've looked on google for any wiring diagrams for my application but haven't been able to find any. Thanks for the help.

    Mike, I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. My project is to replace the microphone on my Harley which has a 7 pin plug communication plug (including L and R speakers for the helmet. I have trace the microphone to 2 of the pins and the speakers to 3 pins (I believe to be a L and R and a singlar ground). The next step is to determine the ground (Common) and the TX and RX (I would think that the one of the Microphone pins is the TX and the other a common. Do you have any material or sugguestions to help get this figured out? I'm basically going from a 7 pin receptacle to a 4 pine plug (or vice versa depending on how you look at it).

  • @jamesventura5106
    @jamesventura5106 6 лет назад

    I have a few Mics that Key up but no Audio, do YOU know how to test to see if it is a wiring problem, or if the Condenser Mic part is faulty, or need to be replaced???? I did check the Wiring which seems OK but still no Audio when I key the mic.....

    Greetings Sir! I have 2 mics and I want to use them in my RCI 2950 radio, the first mic is an Astatic 575 M6 (6 wire cable: shield, red, black, white, blue, yellow) and the second one is a Cobra CA-71B (5 wire cable: shield, red, black, white, blue). How can I wire both of them to my radio?

  • @jamesventura5106
    @jamesventura5106 6 лет назад +1

    I have done it a different way, but I have to admit YOUR way is better, thank YOU, but I still use MY way 50% of the way to find Receive and Audio using the Mic that comes with the Radio, and if there is no Radio I check remaining Pins to see which one is Audio and the last Pin is then Receive, or find which Pin is White to denote it being Audio, but I have found not all Radios use White to denote it to be Audio..... Finding which is Receive is easier when using a Multi-meter and using Ground Pin I check which will give ME a 0 Reading and the last pin is MY Audio... In any case thank YOU, I did learn something new, Thank YOU!!

    I like this video the unfortunate thing i have a Galaxy dx939 which is from 2009 and I went to change the stock microphone plug from the straight version to an angled version and let me tell you this has been helpful but my radio is the opposite. The ground pin is on the lower right and the transmit is upper left. So now I'm going to go on a website and compare what they have and that will help me with the rest of it otherwise this is a good start to show.
