Kenwood TS 50s

D-104 T-UG8 mic, is it compatable with the 50S?? I'm getting a 50s next week and have a d-104 sitting in the shack. Just thinking.....

Why wouldn't it be compatible if it is wired correctly? If it is an amplified D104 you will not need to turn the gain up very far.

Becareful these are (audio touchy radios Ive had one for years and the stock mic works the best. If yo find a mic that works Ide buy your stock mic mines falling apart.

Agree...

The stock mic is a perfect match for the TS-50.

Do you have the matching AT-50 antenna tuner for yours? I love mine it tunes 160-10 meters pretty fast and is pretty forgiving as what SWR it will tune. My wife used this mobile for years and I may take her 857D out and put this TS-50 back it her vehicle with the tuner so I can use her Yaesu FT-867D for 2 meter SSB besides her 857D has a (Manual Antenna Tuner) so the auto tuner on the Kenwood TS-50 is the cats meow for her.

I think I'll give it a try and will be careful of overdriving the radio.

Well, I asked some locals about throwing the mic onto the radio and they say don't. But when I'm on the air all reports are excessive bass. I'm leaning real hard about selling it off along with my IC707 and putting the money towards a TS480HX.
