RJT>I know the input isn't stereo,  but the mic I have here (which works) uses
RJT>stereo-type plug.  Maybe they're running power to it on that extra connecti
RJT>or something,  I don't know for sure.  That's why I posted about it in the
RJT>first place.

I just wondered if it might be a PUSH to Talk mike like we
useto use on mobile transcivers. If I recall correctly it
was the tip and ground ring contact useta switch the transmitter
ON when Pushed to close the circuit.

10-4 ?

Ciao, Ack.
