Astatic Silver Eagle TUG-8 Base

Somebody must have added that switch. Some people put an external switch on these mics to turn off the battery, or a roger beep, or ???.

From unamplified to amplified?
Doubtful.

Haven't you checked it out on a radio yet and found out its function?
Pictures would help.
I'm pretty sure that this is not a stock switch - that is for sure.

Best AM mic around; decent on SSB as well...
 
well after a few hours I found out that someone installed the toggle switch to go from amplified to stock audio. I had to go over all the soldering to make sure there were no cold joints. After I reconnected the battery I found that I have a great non amplified audio with the switch in one direction and the D104 amplified audio when I switched the other direction. Someone did a nice mod on this mic and it's working great in my 2950. The non amplified sound is great for SSB (can't wait to try it on 10 meters).

    Hello I have a old school 2950 receives great on all modes and transmits great on AM but no transmit on SSB. Does anyone have any idea?
