I am sorry if this isn't a real CB radio question but I could use some help. I drive a school bus as a part time job. The bus has a CB radio in it that works fine. My question is about the microphone that is on the bus for the internal PA. The mic worked fine until someone pulled on it too hard and ripped the wires out of the plug. It is a 5 pin plug and connects into the PA system jack. I would like to replace the microphone (it does come in handy at times). I bought a $10 replacement 5 pin mic off of ebay (Superstar DM-507-5). When I plug the new mic in the AM/FM radio shuts completely off until I press the speak button on the mic then it plays music fine. I am guessing that there are other types of 5 pin mics and I bought the wrong kind. The Mic on the bus is a ProComm Power Mic. I searched for this model but only found 4 pin types.
Does anyone know what type of mic I can buy to replace this? I can't afford an expensive one (and sometimes these mics just vanish off the vehicles too) but really would like to be able use the PA system again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
