Breck, there were a bunch.

The standard Motrac microphone is a TMN-6013A.  This is
what is described on eBay (at an outrageous price) as
an "Adam-12" microphone.

When Motorola replaced the Motrac line with the Micor, the
microphone electrically was the same, but the connector went
from a 4 pin Amphenol to what could be described as an "edge
connector" style. This mic is known as a TMN-6054A. If you
can deal with, or replace the connector, it will work the
same as the -6013A.

There probably was a different number for the Mitrek microphones,
but I had little use for that radio, so don't know the number.

But there were other numbers as well, usually denoting some
change in body color, type of cord etc.

Hope this helps
