Magnum 257 mic

[Murdock]

I want to put a 6 pin on my M575 for a magnum 257. I read somewhere that one of the pins is hot and using a different mic can damage the radio. Can I do it safely? What do I need to know?

Thanks

for added safety. you could also go inside the radio and unhook the power from the number 6 pin. 8)

helped me hotrod, thanks.
I just break off the #6 pin in the mic connector FLN, then the stock mic still works. it's a good mic with great audio but it's made for someone with smaller hands. good conversation and my hand starts cramping up.
