    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    I finally found it......my Washington is 8719 BOARD 5 wire plug. D 104 is 6 wire but yellow/black wire are not used. It must have a 5 pin plug to match. 4 pin plug will not work. I must have starred @ the schematic for an hour, then I saw it.

    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    Sonoma, I really appreciate you walking me through this. I took the D104 off and put the original mic on, and no problem, so I knew there was something wrong, either the adapter or wiring. The white wire was loose in the solder joint so I redid it put in b ack on and adjusted the radio mic gain...

    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    UPDATE!!!!!!Thanks for the input, I took the D 104 (which had a 5 to 4 wire adapter) from the radio and changed to original mic, nothing else and the squeal is gone. I noticed before that moving the mic back/forth to radio would reduce the noise. It must have something to do with the adapter or...

    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    It's not on the chimney, it is next to garage on 40' push up and antenna is 18'6''. I think it's my D 104, I'm going to try the stock mic.

    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    I will try the original hand mic(5 wire) and see what happens, could all be the adapter.

    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    The Washington is a 5 pin with a 4 pin adapter(Redman's). If I turn the mic 1/4 turn with the radio gain to 12-1:00, I get no squeal, anything further than 3 o'clock it squeals. I found this radio (phillippines) in a yard sale a few years ago, I've never had the cover off and I don't know if it...

    WHAT IS BEST WAY TO STOP MIC SQUEAL ?

    Uniden Washington Base with Amplified D-104 . Is it best to turn radio MIC GAIN down 1st, adjust the MIC to acceptable level, then FINE TUNE with radio mic gain ? I had it written down somewhere but don't know where. Someone said it sounded low, so I started on the MIC adjustment and forgot...

    What is your thought on this power/swr meter

    My bad!!!!!!! I just wanted advise in this style over the normal meter type. I just saw this display on ebay for reference only. I also noticed it was just a panel, duhhhhhh.

    Dielectric Grease

    Thanks guys, those were the answers I was looking for. I have a 3' RG8 jumper that was a little dull on the pin, so used a Scotchbrite pad to clean it up, and wanted to use lubricant. 3's an thanks again.

    Looking at new amps.

    Every time I get a chance to kick back and read the mail, I gotta say this was a masterpiece. Some were right and some were wrong, according to what was touched on by all. I have no clue who or what is correct, but it's some fine reading for someone like me. @ 74, I'm just used to plug/play from...
