Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40

Almost the same here, loads of spare connectors from previous projects, and a spare microphone. Result... no outlay for new bits. More to spend on strip board and knobs etc. Phil - G7BZD On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 8:58 PM, Ryan Flowers <geocrasher@...> wrote: I really should have updated this thread.

Pins 1, 7, 6, 5 are all that needs connecting, I too use the HM-36. Phil - G7BZD On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 3:01 PM, <celluloidfoundry@...> wrote: This is the info I have found for wiring up the mic , any info on how you wired up would be great! |
There is a thread here that speaks of this. /g/BITX20/topic/baofeng_microphone_mod_for/4554574?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Relevance,,Baofeng,20,2,0,4554574 73's John McGrath KF6EFG |
My mic also uses a common ground. I checked the grounds from mic, ptt and speaker on the bitx, they all seem to be the same at least at dc. Schematic seems to show the same. I connected the ground from the mic on the bitx to the cat5 connector. All the others ptt, mic and speaker share that ground. So far it seems to work fine. |
I bought this mic from Amazon for $7 and wired it up to a cat 5 connector. It has the same type of electret microphone that comes with the kit. I drilled a bigger hole for the mic as the one in the case seemed closed.?Just 4 wires, ground, mic+, ptt and speaker. That leaves me 4 more wires for expansion. Thinking maybe serial or tune for digi modes. black = speaker, green = ground, red = mic+ and white = ptt |
All said, ?kits and parts charges less I suppose.On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Tim via Groups.Io <km4wii@...> wrote: Can you share the item numbers of those items please? It's been a day or two since a bought something on Amazon and I'm sure they are wondering what has happened. Thanks --

Can you share the item numbers of those items please? It's been a day or two since a bought something on Amazon and I'm sure they are wondering what has happened. Thanks

I used an old CB rig and replaced the mic element with the one in the kit. ?

You also may need to rewire all the way back to the speaker/mic with 6 wires. Baofeng uses two plugs with multi contacts. See this wiring diagram. |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýShields presumably
on at least some of those 4 wires in the Baofeng cable? Some
of the radio connections are likely grounds. link those up and
you should have enough. On 15/03/2017 3:14 PM,

I cut off the end of my baofeng speaker mic off and got 4 wires.? Does anyone have any ideas how I could connect this to the radio?? The radio needs 2 leads for PTT, 2 for speaker, and 2 for the mic. |
