Help me out- DIY antenna mount

[Cheesemaker]

Just go back to radio shack and get a mic.  And don't go any higher than a 3 amp fuse.  That's what is in my TRC-427 cb. 

Crap by the time you get this all done, you could have bought a new Uniden, K40 ant., wire, and mount for what your gonna have into patching this together.

Haha, very true BUT I still couldn't afford it  . I think I'm out $30 so far. And Radio Shack says they don't stock my model any more and they would have to order a mic. I don't want to deal with them any more. I can't remember the place but I'm told there is a good place in Fremont or Hayward. I'm hoping they can diagnose my Cb issue.

You must be talking about Clyde's Corner in San Leandro near Bayfair Mall. They're on E14th st.

That's it! Think I'll give them a visit tomorra.

PS. What is the closest Cb shop that will carry a mic? What should it cost?

i think i have a mic with that style plug if you want to wait i can send it to you for teh cost of shipping. i had a cheap RS CB in my truck for awhile and i couldnt send out a signal. got clear incoming stuff, but no outgoing and tried swapping out for a diff mic so as far as i know its good. PM me if you want it

You don't have a mic? 

THere is the sound problem solved...No mic = no sound..  The audio circit runs thru the mic on those radios..
As for getting a mic you will have to buy one and have a end wired on to it for your radio.. I don't think you will find alot of mic's with a 5 pin din plug on them.

Is mine a 5 or a 4? Does the center hole count?

[fordh8r]

Looks like 5 to me.
