[Milsurplus] AVIOMETER CORP. NEW YORK TYPE 9044 NAF NO. 213264-61

[Roger Basford]

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for that info. I would expect to see a small resistance across 
the mic element but there is nothing, so I guess the PTT switch is duff. It 
looks very similar to the mic on my TBY-8, so I'll run a check against that.

73,

Roger/G3VKM
