Echo Master to Motorola CP200

[15minigrass]

My cousin asked me if I can wire an Echo Master desk mic to his Motorola CP200 talkie...
Is it possible?

He handed me his mic/ear piece interface. Opened up the PTT button and I have 8 wires. 4 from the radio and 4 going out 2 to the mic and 2 to the ear piece..

What Im seeing is when the PTT is depressed, it is disables the ear piece and enables the mic vice versa.....

Is this possible???? The plug ends has 2 mono jack plugs.

With the proper re-wiring, sure, any microphone could be connected to that HT. But, that doesn't say that it will work or sound right. It depends on the type of mic-element used, if any voltage is required, etc.
I think you know that the little silver thingy in the left end of that grommet is the microphone element. Just substitute the element connections from the 'other' mic. That would mean that the 'switch' would also have to be rewired for that 'other' mic too, or, you'd have to use the one on that 'in-line' mic holder.

Im trying to figure out if I could use those 4 wires going to the HT alone wired straight to the mic itself. Shield from the CB mic to the mic ground(mic-) on the HT plug, mic+ to the audio on the cb mic, but Im stuck to where the TX line from the CB mic goes.

Shield = mic-
Audio = mic+
TX = speaker+ or -.

I took that mic element and wired it to the EM mic.

Im still wondering how the earpiece is kaying the HT. Without the HT, I cant test it out. :Lol:

Anyways, anymore info would be great. Thanx doc. Aloha, Kalei......
