The 6 pin is hot. I've wondered about stepping it down to 10volts to power the mic instead messing with a 9 volt battery. It would have to be done in the mic so you could still use the stock mic as well.
I can understand that! It's obviously an issue and I hope they get it corrected. I really like this radio and wouldn't mind seeing more radios based off this platform.
Yeah...after reading some of your comments about it, I tried it out and it is there for sure. The only time I really notice it though is when it's on the bench mounted at ear level...very faint.
I'm sure you'll like it. Before you wire the mic, push out the 6 pin. That way you never have to worry about it causing any problems. I just went ahead and removed the evens...
It works fine. Audio is pretty good, but in my opinion not a big enough improvement to give up my channel controls. I do have one fairly noisy car that the RD is a must. My talkback isn't really an issue either. It's barely audible when off. I don't even notice it when used as a mobile.
Not a big fan of the red as well...
The mic works, but personally I prefer using the stock due to the channel buttons. If noise becomes an issue I throw on the RD.
No CW. $250 sounds pretty good. It was $375 delivered when I was checking into it. I'd most likely have the optima right now if I could have got it for $250.
