Baofeng Speaker/Microphone for UV-5R?

Yeah well It wasn't going to be a permanent thing (it not being a REAL RADIO), but it is an option for a new Ham operator to do on the cheap. And it works. I really don't want to clutter up my cab by yet another radio. IE, another full size 2 meter.

I keep it in there now for mostly emergency use. I'm up in the mountains a lot, and where I go there are several 2m repeaters I can use if needed. I like that.

All this being said though I will put an All bander hf rig in it someday.

Bottom lime for the OP though, the Mic works.
 
I recorded myself monitoring a spare radio using the Baofeng UV5RA internal microphone and then plugged in the earpiece/mic that came with my radio and talked/recorded that. The little PTT mic/earpiece sounded much better than internal microphone; it was louder and clearer.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
