Any pictures?

Well I do get a hum from the mic tester when I touch the white wire. I dug out the other two of these I have and one of those does the same as this one, the other works great, so I know the wiring is correct. Of the two that do not work, one looks to be NOS and the other is typical used. The mic...

I found a link to a DIY cable build, but nothing for a factory cable. https://lance.conryclan.com/home/diy-icom-ic-208h-remote-head-cable/

Geez the mouthwash commercials practically write themselves………”notice people leave the room when you speak? Corroding your coax? Melting your microphone? Save your equipment and get one step closer with Scope”.

Yes, that is it. I passed the cable thru the gap in front to the other side of the board there in front so it could come out in the notch that is in the rear of the radio.

Scott’s has a K-PO power mic that seems to work good on the dx 5000. Where did you find the Alinco? It is a really good looking radio.

There is a good bit of info about this floating around. Seems to be a grounding issue but is normally resolved by installing a new name brand gfci, apparently the older ones were more susceptible to this. I saw several short video clips of HTs causing wired GFCIs and the kind attached to...

It looks just like the dx-5000 but with a front mounted mic.

I bought one after talking with 828 and have not been disappointed. I added the “blob”, connected the programming cord pigtail and put the covers back on. Radio works great. i did make an RJ45 to 4 pin mic connector so I could use different microphones, I do not care for the stock mic mainly...

This is the Expander 400 hand mic.

I wired it up per the above and on My mic tester it shows the green rx light on and the red tx light when keyed, but no audio. The cord appears to me to be the original. I do have an extra yellow wire. Here is a pic of the guts if it helps. The white wire and shield are down near the bottom. New...

Thanks!

Does anyone know the correct wiring for installing a 4 pin Cobra on an Expander 400? Thanks for any information. -Jim

The Lincoln 2 is a great radio. But it is not as simple to convert, you have to solder in a resistor.

Here you go.

I really like mine. Yes you can select either dynamic or electret mic in the menu. I made an adapter using a 90 degree 4 pin plug out to a male mic jack. The #4 pin should not be connected, so I just made the 90 that way. Now I can connect any of my 4 pin mics without changing anything. The...

This handy guide might help:

We do frame some commercial buildings with load bearing metal studs, that is really not the issue. For residential usually the biggest complaint is they are not friendly at all when you start trying to hang items on the walls.

The one I had was a great radio. Never had any issues with it.

Go look at the meter and you will know immediately if water is flowing when you do not think it is.
