I recently purchased a used VX8R, and I need to convert some military headsets to work with it.

I got the pin-out stuff fromt the other thread, so that's great. I'm having issues with figuring out which microphones to usethough. Some sound really really low, while others don't work at all.

Does anybody know which impedance and type of mic i need to buy to get this to work?

Do any other components (like capacitors, resistors or diodes) need to be installed? A friend did a mod with a mic with what appears to be a diode acress the terminals, and that works?! I'm really tired of this blind trial and error stuff :confused:

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
