[EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I'm back from wonderful Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, so have had time to try out the suggestions on the T4X mic wiring from a couple weeks back.
And the winner is.... Red - tip White - sleeve (middle) black + braid - body VOX works OK, plus if I monkey with the control on the back of the T4X I can disable VOX and it works fine PTT. Also has more output than my old Turner(with built-in-preamp). On Malaysia, interesting food: Malay, Thai, Chinese, Korean, etc. But I paid $7.14 for a 12oz Bud (I think a personal record for me), and NO pork BBQ, no pork of any sort. Instead beef bacon, chicken sausage, etc... God Bless America and Happy 4th to all !
