WTB 5 pin factory mike jack


We temporarily quit selling the adapter. Found that the relay it uses to control the radio's receive speaker was a bit weak. Enough of them went bad to get my attention. It will be redesigned with a heavier relay, a few "round tuits" down the road.

I do have a plentiful supply of 5-pin sockets with the tiny circuit board still attached. Too much of a packrat to ditch them like I should. Thought about posting a pack of five of them on fleabay. Never got a round tuit for that, either.

If you only need one, here's a proposition. Write your name and shipping address on a piece of paper I can tape to the outside of a bubble-mailer padded envelope. Stick it and a few stamps inside the envelope and then put our address on the outside, with a stamp on the outside so it gets here.

Oh, and write a reminder what it's about on the back side of that shipping label. When it arrives, I'll open it, retrieve the label, tape it to the outside and attach the stamps, then drop a Cobra 2000 mike socket in and drop it back into the snail-mail.

It's yours if you're willing to do all the work.

And no, I don't sell them. I would have to do the same "minimum order" policy that RF Parts has, and for the same reasons. Much better to not be in the parts business.

Umm, okay. The minimum order at RF Parts is based on what it costs them to process an order. Gotta pay the hired help and keep the lights on, etc. Don't know what their minimum is now, but we have to charge at least 18 bucks for a simple transaction. My overhead here is just a fact of life.

That's why I offered to just send the thing. If you're willing to do the actual work.

And if we do it, that's the price. Seems outlandish for an item like this. One thing for sure, next year that eighteen buck transaction cost will probably creep higher. Was a lot lower thirty years ago.

Your choice. At least that puts a price on it so you can decide what's the better deal. Free or eighteen bucks.

Oh, and the street address is shown on the web site www.nomadradio.com
