Re: Replacement Microphone ?

Don't count on it working.  The FT-100 uses resistors to determine what 
button is pushed.  That includes the PTT switch.  I got one that was the 
same model number, almost.  I think it was the last character was 
missing.  It wouldn't key the radio.   What I ended up doing is 
replacing the resistor inside the mic with the one the radio wanted to 
see.  All was well then.

PS: I'm also sending this message direct to you.  yahoogroups has a 
tendency of losing messages, at least it does mine.
