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 to about 3 o'clock, barely cracked the mic volume pot barely open, all seems well. I've never had the top off on this radio, so I don't know about the talkback you asked about. When I key the mic I get one small plunk, that's all. Amps/modulation barefotted and power seem fine with good swr. My mic wiring is somewhat different than you mentioned.
1 blue/shield
2 white
3 red
4 black
5 yellow nc
I bought it wired this way, is it correct ?
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.
