Interesting.? That picture has no indication as to which is positive and which is negative.? If I didn¡¯t already know that the upper right connection was ground the picture would be useless.? I am probably offending some people but I¡¯m about fed up.? All of the correct information needs to be gathered in one place.? Call it a manual or whatever you want but ?someone who knows needs to take the time and put forth the effort to put it together.? And then all the incorrect information needs to be removed from the web.?
if i recollect , a reverse polarity was also responding for voice but verey very lowand distorted.

Hi sarma.
?
I¡¯m sure I have the polarity correct.? Someone on this list posted a drawing showing how to identify the negative terminal and I wired according to it.? I think the electret mic wouldn¡¯t work at all if polarity were reversed.? What is being powered is an ?F E T source follower.? ?I think I shouldn¡¯t have to raise my voice to get 5 watts output on 40 meters.
?please check whether the mic body is connected to chasis ground.
i mean the positive bias voltage for mic should come on independent pin and NOT to the body pin of the eletret element.
In case you are using a dynamic mic, perhaps we need more gain and your need to shout appers logical.

Speaking of mics, I have to raise my voice almost to the level of shouting to get 5 watts out on 40 meters.? Is this normal or should I look for a problem?
I had grabed a taperecorder mic with 3.5mm mono pin. ?replaced the cable with 2+shield.had a small pushed switchmounted and wired. ?repalced the 3.5mm momo pin to stereo pin. Here is a image of my mic.The pp9 battery helps to imagine the mic size. regards ?sarma ?vu3zmv
