It's pretty standard to use that so more than likely, yes.
It's possible it's a similar product too.

He was saying that he would not be doing any base stations.
Guess he changed his mind.

what a maroon.
most times it's actually the power switch that causes that voltage drop in 2000's.
It switches the ground, and even though it is sealed, the contacts do deteriorate over this much time and need attention.
the fix is to drill a tiny hole in the corner of the plastic bottom of the switch, just big enough to get the nozzle of your contact cleaner spray can into. drill slowly to make sure that all the shavings are being drawn up and out and not into the switch.
spray and actuate the switch and the contacts will be all good again. i usually use some contact enhancer on them afterwards. then just seal up the hole with a little silicon.
I have not had one 2000GTL come across my bench that had this voltage drop that cleaning the switch did not cure.
also its pretty easy to test the theory before you do anything using just a temporary wire jumper.
oh, and glass is an insulator and happens to be pretty high up on the positive side of the triboelectric series.
it should NEVER be used as an electronics bench top.

Fools and their money.
Radio people are easily separated from it.
The people doing legitimate work are drowned out by the cons and BS artists.

That faceplate was good.
If it were mine I would have tried to get the couple of dents out of it and put it back on as is.

Don’t you discredit me!!! I worked hard around here for that title from my wife. Mr Timmy can’t be the only one, I earned my title.
Hahahahaha

@ ButtFuzz: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.
