MIC ADAPTER QUESTION

[darticus]

I bought a mic adapter from Redman but I had some confussion with it working with one mic. I sent Redman this question which I thought would be simple for a CB shop of his Stature.
The 4 to 6 pin adapter I bought from him to change Cobra 4 pin mic to Ranger 6 pin works fine with Cobra 4 pin mics. I plugged in a d104 that was wired for a 4 pin cobra 29LX which works on the cobra 29LX which is 4 pin but doesn't work on the ranger with the plug. If the cobra 29LX is ok with the cobra mic and the d104 why wouldn't the d104 work with the Ranger but work on the cobra 29LX???
ALL Redman could say was "I have no clue why that would happen, sorry:"
Any thoughts on what might be the problem before I get to work on it? Thanks Ron

A simple four pin plug has pin-outs for the push-to-talk & ground and two to the microphone element. There can be different element types too. The pin-outs are NT universal from one manufacture to the next. If you rewired the adapter to work now, it may not for the next radio. You might try searching the internet for "(brand & model number) pin-outs."
