Reminds me of my 1992 Mighty Max 4x4 pickup that fried on me while driving up the Mt. Washington Auto Road last Father's day. It was a long 130mi. tow home. Good thing I had "AAA Plus", which covered the first 100 miles. I thought I was going to have a good Dx'ing day on top of the mountain. So much for that.:headbang
BTW, I junked the truck for $300.00.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
