Phil, Actually, you can check out the wiring as well as I can. Schematics and pinout information has been complied on many microphones by G4WPW and can be found at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rg4wpw/date.html - this is a wonderful resource for anyone contemplating use of a microphone that is branded differently from their transceiver.
No sense in me reading the schematic and relating it to you when you can do it yourself. From what I see, if you can operate with the preamp off, you do not need to make any changes. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/6/2011 11:24 AM, Phil Hystad wrote: > Don, > > Actually, I do have an MC-60A here I guess.
