"Gerry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no standard among microphone manufacturers. They sometimes change color codes to suit the lowest priced cord vendor and they also make mistakes. Obviously, they don't go out and buy a sample of every rig made so they take educated guesses and they are sometimes wrong. This is why it's not good to rely on a formulaic approach: green goes here, blue goes there, etc. Far better to look at the function of each wire and then decide. The T-4XC wiring is about the simplest thing there is. Only 2 wires and a ground. Obviously one of the pins is PTT and the other must be the mic. The problem occurs in the variety of microphones and the color codes involved. Opening the mic and looking at the switch functions and the color wires attached reveals all.
