Just looking for a Mic for my Kenwood ts-570. The base of my old MC60 has crapped out and I need a replacement.
I am also open to suggestions on what kind of mic to look for. I do need to try and keep it on the cheap side being a cheap ass ham ....

4 pin or 8?
That should be an 8 pin.
Yes, 8 pin. Are you looking for a stock type hand mike, desk mic or are you willing to experiment.
I can probably help you out. I have a TS-570S and here lately I have been experimenting with some cheap assed mics and have been getting great results.
I see now that the title says DESK MIC..... somehow I missed that.
Yes, looking for a desk mic or parts for the base of the mc-60... It is and 8 pin on the 570dg.
Uh, that would be an 8 pin.
An 8 pin that utilizes that hard to reach with a soldering iron center pin.
I believe a 1000 ohm studio mic can be tailored through the menu system to have high and low cut offs as well as mid-range peaking.
Let me see what I can come up with. I happen to have a generic vocal mic I'll wire up and see how well it works. I don't have much in it. Do you have a foot or hand PTT switch?Quote:

Yes, to all of the above. The center pin is a ground and is not that hard to reach. Menu #14 is TX EQQuote:

I have a couple MC85s I'm planning to sell.
