Microphone Connections

Welcome, this page discribes microphone wiring connections for most UK and foreign radios. Most U.S. radios are “Code Type 2”, so if the radio you want to wire a mic up for is not mentioned here, be sure to try out “Code Type 2”. If you know of any other radio / microphone wire schemes that are not mentioned here, please send me a E-Mail to the address at the bottom of the screen.

To Use this Chart: Look up your radio. To the left is a “Type” number. Look further down the Chart to CODE section. Find your number. This is your radio’s mic wiring. Further down the Chart are a few microphone’s and their wiring pinouts.  Remember that the Shield wire is most alway’s wrapped around the Audio wire.

    The Turner 3 wire if used on a 2510 would you connect the red and shield together as there is no recieve connection on the 2510.

    What effect will a Turner Plus 3 transistorized microphone with a 5000 ohm impedance connected to a Yeasu FT-847 which usually has a dynamic microphone with a 190 ohm impedance have on the quality of the sound produced ?
