on turner mikes look on bottom and see if there is a little hole with a pot on the inside next to the battery spot,, that is the adjustment to match to radio the top pot is to adjust modulation,,,,, the reason i mention this is because i have seen this on 2 refurbished turner mikes,,, some one used the amp and bottom off of a super side kick and put on a +3 body,,, these mikes are getting a lot like the astatic tug8 and 9 stands and are being mix and matched,,,,, getting hard to age a tug 8 stand when someone has changed the bottom cover with the date and put it on a newer or older body,,, the same has been going on now with these 30=50 year old turners,,,,taking a few old mikes and putting together one good one,,,, i seen on ebay back about a year ago some one had a turner +3 with a gold screen head,,, that was undoubtly taken off of a browning mike and put on a turner,,,, sad to say just the other day on ebay i saw a turner mike that had a 104 head cobbled up on it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just some ramblings... 73s midnight special
and just another thought i have a super side kick for my washinton i probably use it more than the other 2,,, but after i adjusted the bottom pot it gets a lot of compliments....i know of a few instances where some had a ssk mike and couldnt get to work on their radio because the didnt know about the bottom pot...
These d104 add on's
n ssb my d104's (madison) dialed in at number 4 on the dial and on Am 5 1/2 is the sweet spot. Like most newbies often do I once couldn't resist the erage to turn the mic's volume up and down every few minutes trying to get as much audio also possible out of my radio/mic. I'm way over that and never touch the mic's volume but in the instance someone who might use the Same d104 for different rig's it's a nice little invention to have. Adjusting a d104 with a screwdriver for whatever the reason it is a pain in the ass.
