harrier cb-x mic or equivalent ?

[slimfb]

any idea how to get a replacement mic for my harrier cb-x, do i need a harrier mic or can i get something else, thanks in advance

any mic can be wired for it dont think you will get an original mic as they where only made it the early 80's

thanks for that but .......... how ?

my cb-x seems to be functioning fine, i can receive ok, swr ok, but when i transmit, the other person can hear the mic 'click' , my power meter goes over ok , but he can't hear my voice

i think it's the 'big round thing' inside the mic that's given up the ghost.........it's got a vibration membrane & a sealed metal round unit......i'm not a techy !

so.....will any 4 pin mic work, if not, what do i need to do ? thanks again in advance for help the noobs out there

Give thunderpole a ring they can probably make one up with the correct wiring for you, wiring differs on radios

nice one....thank you

mic came super quick on saturday, tried it in my truck today........same prob.....

quess i need a new radio

i know the antenna is important, but as i drive an 8 wheel tipper, i do a bit of quarry & off roading........low trees & stuff getting in the way. does this mean i have to have a springer on top to take the punishiment or is there another way to do it to have the best antenna setup possible ?

is a springer a springer, do they vary in quality & power ?

i better do a post on the antenna forum as well

i dont think much of the springer antennas, thunderpole sell alot of very good mobile antennas, i like the look of the red thunder (bullwhip type) antenna with a red base

send the harrier to andy he will sort you out the harrier is a lot better set than most modern ones so it will not be money wasted

The PTBM134AOX board is used in quite a few radios , There is a Mic Volume adjuster inside which may have become faulty, try adjusting it , i have it here in my old 80s scribble pad as Mike gain .
