Yep, e-Bay is littered with them and a lot of other items for the major players’ products.?
A friend recently needed a replacement microphone for his Kenwood TM-281 2 meter mobile rig. When checking the price it was nearly half the purchase price of a new replacement rig. He turned to e-Bay and in two weeks a mike arrived that looked like the Kenwood, did everything the Kenwood mike did, sounded like the Kenwood mike , but was only $15.00 including shipping. ?I am willing to bet if you look hard enough you could find a biological weapons lab for sale on e-Bay.?
You don’t realize it at the time, but when you say, “Till death do us part”, you are setting a goal.?

Yep, I trimmed the plug
also. Had it pop out during an event and got a call from one
of my friends telling me that I was transmitting. Now I use
rubber bands to hold it in.
I know the receive on this
radio is better than the Baofeng radios. Was at an event
using the Baofeng and a guy near me had the FT60 and was
hearing things I didn't hear. Got out the FT-60 and the
receive came alive.

Mine was a major nuisance, so much so I tossed?the
microphone in a drawer. When time was available an
inspection of a new non molded male connector did not
exhibit the pop out problem. Cutting away the
insulation which butts against the radio on the
connector solved my problem. ?Frankly given the
widespread problem and duration it was surprising it
had gone on so long. As far as I know the overmolding
on the connector is still in production.?

The only shortcoming of the
FT-60 is the mic plug arrangement. Tough to
keep it plugged in all the way.
