    Nice, but now radio limits you. I inject audio directly to series pass regulator. Mike

    Older mic plug is kinda nice to use.

    I dealt with many of those back in early 90's. Many Alan and Midland radios sold here had those plugs. Plastic was melting on attempts soldering wires, it was very tight fit into a sockets and aluminium again steel when locking it into a socket was twisting tough. Mike
