Hi all,

Many Thanks for all of the responses to my question as to why my D104 wasnt working with my Ranger. We have to give W4KR Stan a big round of applause. 
He's the winner is figuring out my problem. The issue was this. I was using the 2 wire configuration for my microphone to keep it real simple 
and basic. 2 wires come out of the mic element. One assumes the red wire is the "hot" mic wire and the other is ground.  I had the wires hooked 
up to my 2 pin plug assuming pin 1 to be "hot" and pin 2 to be ground. Stan knew right away that the pin 2 on the radio goes no where and as a 
result, my mic had an open circuit because I had no ground hookup. I disconnected my wire to the radio pin 2 and just grounded it to the chassis 
and the base of the mic and we are "on the air". Thanks once again to Stan and all of you and I hope to see you soon on the AM mode.
