4-pin dynamic mic to 6-pin President Bill adapter?

[romad275]

I'm looking for a recommended adapter so I can use my K40 Speech Processor dynamic microphone with the President Bill CB I just ordered. So far I've found three that might work:

The President 6pin _PRES-UNI from Walcott Radio, this one from eBay, and the C4PDF6 from Workman. The last actually says it is for using a Cobra 4-pin mic to a Delta Force 6-pin radio so I'm not certain about it.

Anyone use such an adapter, particularly those above? I contacted Walcott and they say theirs will work with my K40 mic and President radios; I'm guessing I just have to switch the President mic input from Electret to Dynamic as shown in the President manual.

I wouldn't go with the ebay one. It might put too much strain (weight) on the socket as you now have leverage if you pull the mic cord. I would go with the Walcott one. Just my $.02

That is a good point to consider. Thanks!

Actually, the eBay one looks like the Workman adapter, so the same caveat would apply. However, I learned the mic socket of the President Bill is threaded and actually screws into the cast metal case. With it physically screwed into the case, the strain is less than when using a flange and screws attachment.
