My favorite hand mike of all time. It would kick a$$ on my Yaesu FT101E. Only worked properly on radios with high-impedance mike input. Won't sound all that good on a typical solid-state radio. Plugged mine into a Browning transmitter one day, and found the mike socket was wired in reverse. 300 Volts DC onto the cartridge inside the mike produced a muted "crinkle" sound and that was the end of that mike. Replacement elements just don't exist.
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.
