Microphone wiring Tried to wire Astatic d104 microphone to peaked galaxy 88 cb radio. Used 1 shield 2 white 3 red 4 black w/ talk back off. Radio transmits and receives but squeals. Turned down modulation knobs but very little to no audio modulation. Switch in d104 in E position. What's the problem? Stock mic. Works with stock Mic. fine.
The rf power going out is geting inducted on the wires of the mic.try using some ferrites close to the coax on the pl259 connector and on the mic wire itself.

Here are the pinouts for the 4 wire and 6 wire D104 mics. they were great microphones back in the 1980s. I used to have one on my Ten-Tac HF ham radio.

Is the d104 a amplified tug8 (4 wire) or tug9 (6 wire) or is it a non amplified mic? Found this...hope it helps.......... Astatic (4 wire) 1- White 2- Shield 3- Black 4- Red
Astatic (6 wire) 1- White 2- Shield 3- Blue 4- Red Black- N/C Yellow- N/C

Here are the Pin outs for different mics that will work with your radio. If a wire is not listed then you cut it off. It's best to keep the wires as short as possible no longer than a half inch is suggested. Normally the Cobra pin out is standard for most radios.

Hello,
Here is the wire diagram for several common mics in relation to a 4 pin CB. Most recent 4 pin CB's such as Midland, Cobra, Connex, Uniden, etc can use 4 pin mics. The wiring is actually depending on the mic rather than the CB so long as the CB's are 4 pin as well. Once you go back to late 80's the 4 pin design was a little different. Anything new it is simpler.

You don't mention if the Madison is a 4 pin or 5 pin also you don't mention if the D104 is a 4 wire or a 6 wire microphone so this will be rather lengthly of an answer so if I help you could you atleast do the rating for me ? So here goes 4 pin / 4 wire 1]SHIELD 2] WHITE 3] RED 4] BLACK....O.K. 4 pin 6 wire 1]SHIELD & BLUE 2] WHITE 3] RED 4] BLACK YELLOW NO CONNECTION.....Are you with me so far ? Half over 5 pin 4 wire 1] WHITE 2]SHIELD 3] BLACK 4]N/C 5] RED.....5 pin 6 wire 1] WHITE 2] SHIELD&BLUE 3] BLACK 4]N/C 5] RED.I hope this helps you GOOD LUCK and have a good day Dan.
