On the Anytone, you can use any Cobra, or the like, 4 pin mic but one of the pins has to be disabled due to the powered leg for the buttons. I don't remember which pin right off but lots of videos and probably good info here. Be sure to do this or damage to the radio will be the result. If you have a 4 pin laying around that you liked on another rig, maybe give it a try as these radios have great audio and if it's not what you want you will know whether you want more modulation or.....

Thanks Steve. I will double check on the pin to keep disconnected (think pin 4) best, Jeff

I have one and it was easy to convert. My friend has the clone, Retevis Ailunce HS4 and they have been working great.
I'm using the basic Superstar DM-507-4 and I have the value set at 45 for the mic gain.
I also forgot to suggest maybe making an adaptor cable so you don't have to modify a mic. ✌✌
If you decide to venture-out and play (tinker) with the Service Menu, be certain to record the factory default settings / values prior to changing the values.
. I will not mess with service menu but if i were too, the only thing i would want to do is drop the receivers gain a bit (i guess using the rf gain knob kinda does it). The hs4 i have doesnt appear to have the high pitch whine that i read many suffer from. Something with the display making noise i was reading about. Weird thing i did notice with mine is when i had a dsp unit sitting on top of the radio i was getting some whining from it. Moved the unit off the top and all quiet. May have been how the wires to the dsp were crossing over the radios power lead etc. Otherwise enjoying it so far!
For reference only.
