Uniden Portable Lapel Microphone&Speaker NO CURLY CORD

Curious lapel microphone speaker units, branded Uniden but the old connectors were typically used with Kenwood transceivers - it doesn't matter now as the old curly cord and connectors have been discarded.

UNIDEN Portable transceiver lapel microphone speaker

The only indication of a model is printed inside each unit

Y90 5

Nice weather resistant casing using inner rubber seal and external components such as the PTT and earpiece socket are all rubber.

Strong metal clamp inside the case for the curly cord entry point

Excellent case condition - no cracks or other damage

Electrically fully functional

Electret microphone insert

Mylar loudspeaker

Positive completely sealed PTT switch action

4 wire output

Black/Red is the loudspeaker/earpiece audio feed

Yellow/shield is the microphone audio output

Push to talk button is in series with the microphone insert, so the yellow mic audio line is normally open circuit, push the PTT button and the yellow line becomes 2.4K Ohms with respect to ground (the insert resistance)

Lapel clip on the rear of the microphone/speaker

Very nice physical size, easy to hold and not heavy

OBVIOUSLY THE USER NEEDS TO FIT A NEW CURLY CORD TO SUIT THEIR TRANSCEIVER.

Although a nice microphone/speaker unit, the original curly cord had seriously deteriorated with age and simply fell apart - the old cable has been carefully removed ready for fitting a new one.

I have left "tails" at the connection points for the microphone and speaker to assist the new owner.
