Found out what it was- one of our locals accidentally locked down the mic on his 2950 and left the house.
Turned out to be a pretty good real-world test for the 2950- capable of throwing a dead carrier at half- power for more than 8 hours and not suffer any damage.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
