[SOC] Microphones?!?!

[Curt Steger]

Now I am confused. Randall mentioned mic jacks. I thought this was some 
sort of joke he was playing on us. Now you are telling me they are real? 
And here I thought the extra plug on the radio was some sort of 
additional ALC connection or something. No wonder the relay on my 
FL-2100 did not activate when I plugged it into the jack on the front of 
my FL-101.

Ya learn (going to catch hell for using that word) something new every day.
