[TMC] SBE Mic connector?

[Nick England]

Well.....Never Mind. I know I used to have one hooked up to my SBE but I
converted over to using the 600 ohm audio lines some time back. I thought
the mic connector was still hanging around here somewhere, but I can't find
it - maybe I sold it at a hamfest for a few bucks. CRS.

Good luck
