Does anyone have any experience using a D-104 with a Drake >transmitter? Standard USA color code: Red - PTT White - audio Shield - audio (and sometimes PTT) ground Black - (optional) PTT ground. If there is a black wire for PTT ground, it should be connected with the shield to ground at the mic plug. Import mic cables will most likely NOT adhere to this color code. A TUG8/D104 manufactured for the CB market will be configured with black as an RX ground (for electronic switched CBs), and shield is common (USA codeing). There may be other colors, or the colors will vary if the cable is an import. Remove the baseplate from the mic stand, there should be a wiring diagram attached to the bottom of the baseplate. As others have said, you will not need the transformer. I've said it before and I'll say it again, IMHO the preamp in the T-UG8 stand is an abomination created to allow CBers to overdrive their radios, and should be removed and reconfigured with a hammer. I've used the D104 on several ham rigs (TR7, HW101, GT550A, SB104A), and even a couple of CB rigs, and always had enough level without the preamp. Just my opinion, FWIW. - -- Jim Shorney -->.<--Put complaints in this box [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, NE, USA EN10PT http://incolor.inetnebr.com/jshorney/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBPozK6ECBN4ScxcExAQHDXwP/XtC0RhE4y/er/RBbDWct0T0XdfYtc5ty AAxjFzFUcMWUQU/0aesOvzaAzg1fm8A/hXCRBEPBHrZ3ZYWiHKiry4kBRHpa2zGF dowhEXv7Wr0RsTlSi5ZWb4UlF3fzFbIz4OonRxCBOSHxGSf2igDmkAWppfekg3R2 U6al6Vq2aDI= =5eMn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - subscribe drakelist in body Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
