    Default Mic Questions

    Hello,

    I am in search of a reasonably priced & quality made Yaesu
    MH-36B6J DTMF Mic for my 2600-M.
    The shield on the Mic cord has begun to crack apart, so I am searching for a replacement.

    Thanks and 73,
    KD8JUM (Sam)

    Why not change the cord? Saves a buncha $$
    It would really help new amateurs who want to build antennas to find an older copy of the ARRL Antenna book. There are too few explanations and too little data in the current editions. By old I mean say pre-1989. Cruise hamfest tables and Ebay, there are plenty available pretty cheap.

    I suppose the next question is where could someone purchase a "Mic-cord" for the Yaesu (MH-36B6J DTMF Mic) 2600-M Radio? And one that is a direct plug-&-play setup.


    Thanks, KD8JUM (Sam)

    IF the cable is no longer available, then a 6-wire coiled cord (eBay, Internet sales, Amatuer radio/land mobile/CB retail stores/shops)
    can be used.

    My experience is that some of these may be dead/rejects from mfg. -- so you may have to repair it -- after you get it

    In my humble opinion (IMHO), starting with a coil cord and adding your own connectors might be a lot to expect in terms of cost. A good modular tool ( not usually that one in the famous over-the-counter 'shack' ) can cost between $50.00 and $125.00. Connectors are usually pretty inexpensive, but there are many designed for solid wire- usually the RJ-45 is used for "Cat5" or "Cat6" and not the best for stranded wire. Getting the stripped wire into the connector properly for good strain relief can be a humbling experience. Try Yaesu/Vertex/Motorola first. 73
