Mark,

I am guessing that bias voltage is being supplied from another route or that MH4 would not work. Some ops place the resistor on the mic configuration header as opposed to the mic connector itself. That may explain why it is working in the other rig.

Either way, sounds like you have things working. Enjoy!

Hi

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes. I fitted a 5K6 resister about 3 mins ago and it works. What is curious is the other rig also has no resistor but just works, with both microphones. That is the one with the trimmers in the wrong place but again works. If I am stranded on a desert Island I know which rig I want, the one that seems to just like working.

Mike,

That mic requires bias. Did you place a 5.6K resistor between pin 1 and
6 on the mic connector?
