[TenTec] Mic Wiring

[Greg S]

Bill-
I think the Omni C still had a high impedance mic input.... which means your dynamic Midland mic probably won't have enough output to drive the mic amplifier. One could wire it up, and try it out, though. I always open the mic case and figure out how the mic is wired internally, and that will determine what wire goes to which: TRS on the phone plug. If you don't have the ability to do that, maybe ask around at a local club meeting, and ask if someone is willing to teach you. It's a great skill to have, to be able to wire up different mics to your rig. If I were closer, I would gladly work through it with you over a couple cups of coffee ;-). Enjoy your Omni C, and let us hear it on some of the many TenTec user nets on the air. just look up K3UR on QRZ.... you will find a list of net times/frequencies. ALL are welcome!

Kind regards,

 Hello everyone. I have a Ten-Tec Omni C.  I
 currently have a D-104 wired for it that I am using. My
 question(s) are, can the  Midland 500ohm Hand mic be wired
 for this radio and if so does anyone have the wiring diagram
 for it...I have researched it online but cant seem to find
 anything out about these questions and I would like to have
 a back up mic whenever possible...Any help would be greatly
 appreciated. Thanks.
