can anybody tell me which pins are what on a Johnson Messenger 250? i am trying to wire a Turner +3 mic to it and can't seem to find the correct order. if i get RX, i don't have TX,and if i get it to TX , then i have no RX - should be a piece of cake but it's not been that way so far! the mic has an electronic and a relay switch,i have it in the relay position with no luck either way. somebody please help!

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare

    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    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.
