I just came into the possession of a Silver Eagle D-104 and want to wire it for my RCI 2980 4 pin. I would appreciate if anyone who has the wiring for this mic provide me with that info please. Thanks Dan (P.S. This Forum seems to provide info a lost faster than FaceBook and is quickly becoming the go-to place for info.)
 

Dan,
Stop me if you know this already. There should/could be a schematic on the inside of the base cover plate.

Your'e right the schematic is on the inside of the mic, but needed wiring for a 4pin RCI 2980, it was wired for a 5-pin RCI

Should be pretty simple to just swap by looking at 5 pin ranger connection to the standard 4 pin.

I didn't think ranger ever used a 5 pin plug, I know there's the ranger 6 pin.

What radio was the Astatic being used with?

Standard 4-pin cobra galaxy
1- shield/Common
2- audio
3- tx
4- rx

You're right, I was in error, it was wired for a 6 pin 2970 instead of a 4pin 2980 RCI. I got it wired for the 4 pin, works great, thanks... Dan
