Turner Plus Three CB Mic

[atomicchewbacca]

Hello,
I have a Turner Plus 3 that has been converted from 8 pin to 4pin. It keys up just fine but no audio comes over. I have tested it on a Ranger RCI-6900F . I then tried it on a Realistic TRC-432. Same result. On the realistic I am using a 4 pin to 5 pin converter cable , however that cable has been tested with other mics and works just fine.
Do you think the problem might be with converting it from 8 to 4 or just something going wrong inside of the mic ?
Thank you.

Impossible to diagnose with your description. I would download the original Turner manual to see what colors do what in the mic cable and download the needed mic wiring for your radio. You can then open the mic connector on the mic and see what pins the ground, red, black and white go to, then use an ohm meter to see if they end up on the correct pins at the radio.

I have a Turner Plus 3 in storage that I would like to install on my old Motorola base station if I could find a wiring diagram for it. And of course the right connector as well. It is connected to my dad's old Johnson Messenger 223 base unit right now (also in storage) and I don't remember what connector it has.

Hello again , Im sorry for not replying soon than what I have . My problem was the mic was able to key up but it would not send any audio , it turned out to be an issue with the battery holder. I took it to a local cb shop and he plugged it in and it worked, for a second. He moved it , and the battery moved and it stopped working for a second. He clipped the old battery plug and soldered a new one on and it worked. I found a link to a schematic if anyone needs it .

The Motorola CB mic connectors show up occasionally on Ebay where I picked up a few really cheap. The mic wiring is on the Internet if you punch in the model of the radio.
