Is the plug that goes into the scanner mono (2 sections to the plug) or stereo (3 sections). If 2 sections, you should add a stereo-to-mono adapter. It will improve the audio level and incidentally stop the scanner's audio circuit from being shorted out.
On the Scanner Master site, it looks like a stereo plug. I can make out what appears to be 3 distinct sections, but the picture on the site is too small and low rez to be able to see for sure.
Lawman, would you be willing to post up a picture of the plug so we can see for sure if it's stereo or mono? I'd like to get one of these but only if it has the correct plug - I'm not a big fan of adapters, they're just one more thing to misplace. I don't want to risk burning out something in my brand new $500 radio.
I'm also not real thrilled about that right angle plug. I prefer plugs that connect straight on, rather than at a right angle like that. Be careful not to pinch that right angle plug between the volume knob or the antenna, which is easy to do. I've already killed one pair of earbuds (albeit $5 cheapies) because they had that stupid right angle plug instead of one that the wires pass straight up from, so it got pinched and now the right side of the earbuds has stopped working. If I get this one, that right angle plug is going to get some hot glue put on it to protect the "pinch-point".
