I was chatting with CHATgpt today about it and was given some tests to make. I was told that the SSK dynamic element was supposed to be between 200 to 500 ohms. If I got an open reading, the element was either electret, ceramic or crystal. Well, it looks brand new and it's open. I'm guessing...

I found this: MFC4000B = ECG752 / NTE752.

I turned it up to the point where my voice would be sufficient to transmit. Now, I've run Turner microphones since the 1970s and I've only ever had to turn them up to the 9:00 position to get absolutely perfect and strong modulation. To get proper modulation out of this sidekick I need to turn...

Just for the hell of it I ran all the info into AI. Everything I've experienced and done so far. It asked for pics of both sides of the board so I uploaded them. AI says not to replace the audio chip because according to me test procedures it should be okay. The reason is that if I increase the...

I just noticed that my plus threes are doing the same thing but extremely quietly. I get up with extreme feedback long before it makes a difference, and no one can hear it over the air. But those bikes have awesome gain, and this super sidekick doesn't get enough gain to overcome that little...

I took a meter reading of battery voltage while keyed, and it holds steady at 8.93v. At idle it's at 9.03. It seems to be keying properly now that I retouched the solder joints. So I'm looking to replace the transistor and whatever other chip that is. After recapping the noise is still there...

Well, maybe I can. But it's going to take two hands to run my meter and then somehow got a hold the key down quickly because it'll unkey itself in 10 seconds. I'll take it back apart again next week, didn't want to leave it laying in Parts on the bench because those parts always seem to have...

Well, you know that and I know that. But it will key for about 10 seconds and then while the bar is still down, it unkeys. And it will refuse to key again until I let it sit for a minute. Then it keys. At first I thought the radio was screwed and the time-out was turned on or something, so I...

Yup, even shot cleaner in it and worked it. Getting loud background white noise when keyed. Now it only keys for about 10 seconds then quits.

Well, I quit. I capped it and cleaned everything up. Now I still get the white noise, and for some reason it will only key for about 10 seconds then unkey and won't key back up unless I wait a minute. Then it will key again. Soooo, back on the wall it goes for show and tell. Makes a good paper...

I'm just going to recap it. I can't think of anything else it might be, and three different AI searches and discussions all said the same thing.

It's set for dynamic cuz I'm using a Plus Three on there now. I've used a mixer and headset, a D104, a Yaesu M1 reference mic and Turner plus threes all along. This particular mic makes the noise and if I talk into it it sounds kinda distorted and hissy. When I use the plus three I never fail to...

Yes, it is, but the SSK is not electret. It's dynamic.

Just wired up a SSK for my Stryker and noticed it has noise when keyed. A hissing, rushing noise. I would appreciate ideas. Recap?? Here is a video of the problem.

Yeah, I have a bunch of those, too! LOL. But thanks for the effort~!

I have three other plus threes, plus a parts mic and none of them have this switch. I think this is an early production because my other plus threes don't have the ele/relay switch. Leave it to me to get the oddball!! Thank all you guys for looking! I really appreciate it. The mic is in very...

Thank you!

Bottom switch with spacer in it

Okay, got to wait till tomorrow when I can get to it and pull the bottom off

Am I in luck or looking for hen's teeth when I say I need a certain reed switch for a plus three B? Contacts are worn and I can get them to work, but want to replace the switch. I need the one that has a small nylon spacer in a plus three B with the Elec/Relay switch in it. The reed switch in...
