[Kenwood] MC-60 & MC-60A

[Ron Goldstein]

Hi all,

         I've received many replies to my post concerning the difference 
between the Kenwood MC-60 & 60A microphones. Both "mics" use the same 
housing, and only have MC-60 cast into them. The "A" model had the casting 
hogged out for the up-down switch, and had an amplifier in the base. The 
"60" model had a 4 pin cable for the older radios (audio & ptt only), and 
the 60A had the 8 pin cable for the newer radios with the up-down and 
amplifier capability. If you want to see what Kenwood said the difference 
was, feel free to visit:
