Hey everyone, quick question. I built my K2 over seven years now and just realized I had never completed the mic section. Granted, I didnt have my ticket at the time, so...
Anyway, I recently picked up a d104 mic with a T-UG8 base (the one with the adjustable preamp in the base). I have not really verified the wiring in the base; it looks rather poor in parts, like someone did it with a dirty iron tip or whatnot but otherwise looks okay. The mic came with an old four pin connector. The cord itself has three wires plus the copper braid/shield: black, red, and white. In wiring it to a standard eight pin female, white went to pin 1, red to pin 2, copper braid to pin 7, and black to pin 8. On the P2 jumper, I jumpered it as per the KSB2 manual for Kenwood for AF, PTT, and the two grounds. That said, on keying the mic, the K2 goes silent but there is no evidence on the S meter that anything is happening. FWIW I have replaced the 9v battery in the base and attempted the same after adjusting the preamp pot to each extreme. Do I need to jumper the other pins on P2 as per the KSB2 instructions? Do I have the female connector wired correctly? Or perhaps I should revisit the wiring on the preamp and make sure someone else didn't Bubba it in the past... Any hints, suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
