[Icom] OPC-589 wiring

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 19:29:07 -0700

Thanks for your reply Van. To clarify, not all 8 pin round microphone's are
wired the same. I don't have an Icom microphone with a round connector, but
I do have Kenwood and Yeasu microphones. I may purchase a RigBlaster or MFJ
interface unit with the round microphone hardware, so I'd need to know which
pins are which on the 709 adapter.
