    Wow you guys really need to explore the manufacturing side of the radio world, it isn't what you think.

    Anyone still using their SL 41 mic? I am currently using mine on my 29 chrome ltd and it works really good, loud and clear, however if I try and use it on the Uniden 880,980,or 68ltd when I unkey it makes a " Boooop " sound and I can hear it without talkback on, anyone know what may be causing that?

    Different tune = different results.
    I just got mine recently, and I enjoy using it very much. Results would be very different if I just randomly plugged it into a radio with an unknown tune.

    I don’t think the tune of the radio is causing this problem, especially since he used it on three different radios and have the same issue.
    I believe the problem is in the microphone you can check out this video to see for yourself.

     
    rabbiporkchop and wolverine11 Thank this.

    If your a little more deliberate keying the Mic, you won't hear that clicking sound..."Mash the button like you got a pair!" :D

    Sounds like no receive when unkeyed. Might check for broken wire in plug at pin number four.

    I think you miss understood him. He said the mic works great on the 29. I took him to mean there’s no booop sound while using it on the cobra 29. At least that’s the way I interpreted his posts. Still doesn’t makes sense to me as to why it acts up on the uniden radios, but not the cobra 29, especially since they are all stock radios.

    Aren't they wired differently?
