Still testing other mics. Wired up two other electret mics to try, so far the original is better, will make up an adapter and try my icom mics and a modified D-104. WARNING POWERED MIC CIRCUIT.DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

What is the mic pinout, can't seem to find anywhere on the internet?? Just got one finally after a decade LOL. Doesn't have a mic with it but seems new!

In more careful examination yesterday I found that the radio was exhibiting a small carrier on SSB that become more pronounced (5w) as I adjusted the band pass TX adjustment.

Then heard a station in Florida and started talking and 3 mins in all of a sudden I began getting terrible feedback/distortion through the speaker during TX. Not sure if the outgoing signal is distorted or if the problem is only through the speaker but it is so loud it basically now makes the radio unusable.

So one month into testing this one hits the shelf. Radio is cool and I had high hopes but with the high heat, noise issues in the mobile, and now this feedback issue, I don't think I got the best in the batch. It's got some neat features and nice receive but I'm not sure I can recommend it.

In regard to the latest firmware or software version sir, would you be able to pass that to via email ? I just got this Maxlog today after trying over a decade YEAH...
