I would like to get a speaker/mic for my TH-G71A. I saw on eBay some selling that were for both Kenwood and Baofeng HTs. I have a working speaker/mic for my Baofeng UV-5R HT, but it only works as an external speaker on my TH-G71A.
What I wondered is whether the older Kenwood HTs used different microphone wiring on the older HTs?
It's possible that this old HT has a bad connection at the speaker/mic jacks, too, so that's why I'm asking about this. If they didn't use different wiring back then, I won't bother trying to find a speaker/mic that works with it.
One other thing I need to ask, and it's something I get confused about, is what do you call the SMA connector on this radio? Is it a male or a female connector? I need to get an adapter to allow me to use it on my J-pole in my living room (hidden behind the curtains). Hopefully the J-pole will allow me to make the local repeater. If not, I'll put up a mini-beam just for living room 2M chats using this HT. I like it better than my newer Baofeng. It's much easier to program from the front panel. In fact, I gave up trying to program it from the front panel and just use CHIRP instead.
Thanks in advance!!!
