6 pin CB mic, where can I find one?

The radio should of come with a 4 pin to 6 pin adapter cord, look in the original box if you still have it, should be with power cord and mounting hardware.

 

Adaptor is what’s needed.

And what happened to mic? A GEARKEEPER you can pick up at truckstop. Takes strain off radio end of cord.

Hung correctly it’s junior super trucker all the way (I kid, I must have four of them).

Junior super trucker has mic AND smartphone on Gearkeepers.

Here’s (one of our regular contributors) in demonstration back in his Days of Handsome (when the girls saw that stuffed wallet & unopened Wild Turkey)

Telex/Turner ROAD-KING 56 (cb Shop; in box not truckstop blister pack)

Astatic 636

Ranger 198-SRA

Palomar-41 (best choice but out of production)

Roadking is your default best microphone going back a long ways. But sold & re-sold by different manufacturers. One from the 1990s or earlier is best. I’ve had about five of them. Gave best one to son.

Not positive about box vs blister. But it’s worked for me.

In the meantime, the 636 can be hard to beat.

The holy grail is the ASTATIC 575M6. No longer in production. Read at Bobs CB for description. EBay about $200 NIB.

Get that RM ITALY KL203 baby amp on there.

I have seen the Bearcat 6 pin replacement mic sold in Mom and Pop truck stops or Ambest, you would think since Pilot/ Flying J and Loves sell the 880/980 they would also sell the mic, if you can get by a cb shop see if they have a 4pin to 6pin adapter that works on a RCI, because it will work, or else you can buy the Uniden wireless mic for the 880/980, usually sold in TA/Petro.

 

You could always buy a 4 pin microphone and transfer the 6-pin plug over to the new microphone.
4 pin wiring
1 shield
2 audio
3 transmit
4 receive

Uniden 6-pin wiring
Pin 1 - audio
Pin 2 - Rx
Pin 3 - transmit
Pin 4 - receive
Pin 5 - shield
Pin 6 - 8 volts

You should probably be able to figure out which wire goes where on the 6 pin plug. You could get a cheap $5 microphone out of a clearance bin someplace and switch the plug real quick and be back in business pretty quickly.
