W7EKB, Ken was in there but qrn kept us from making it a threesome. Seems like 20 meters would be a better place for BA's to meet in the summer. Less noise and more coverage. Would 14.050 work? Hope to cuagn. Now, back to work fixin up that ole Knight T-150 transmitter. Ha! Jack W7QQQ Mesa, Arizona

Bry, By George, you're right. You must have been reading my mind tonight! I've got a D-104 comming to use with my Knight T-150. I was just sitting here staring at that connector and wondering what I was going to do. The mic I use now has a 1/4" plug but the plug part unscrews leaving the correct part to screw onto the connector on the rig. I really didn't want to remove that connector from the Shure mic and put it on the D-104 but I figured I'd have to. You just solved my problem! Thanks.! Eric KA1YRV
