A friend of mine got this midland radio at a yard sale for like 10 bucks. Nice lookin little radio, came with stock mic, mounting bracket, and power cord. Good deal right? He gave it to me to give a once over. After a little tweaking, i got 4 watt dead key swinging to around 15 or so with the stock mic and the mic gain wide open. Nice loud clear audio. I changed the mic to my astatic 636,
Barely a whisper heard and almost 0 modulation. Tried a ranger 198, rk56, and a cobra lx stock mic, same thing. All mics are 4 pin cobra including the stock midland mic. What the hell? You can't use an after market nc mic with midland radios? Or am I missing something here?
