The mic in the CM500 is an electret (even though some sales lit says 
it's a dynamic). While not specific to Ten Tec radios, there is detailed 
generic hookup info to make any electret mic work with any ham gear, and 
it's pretty easy. See details in

You'll probably want to make one or two cable adapters, and the link 
lists part numbers for the connectors and where to buy them.  You'll 
have to consult the manual for your rig to figure out which pins are 
which on the mic connector.
