Mine is a plug inThis brings me back to one of my pet niggles with many radios today ... hardwired in mics ...
It was easy enough for radios over years with plug in mics and satisfy the IP ratings ... some still do have plugins ... but seems manufacturers prefer hardwired ....
Wonder if possible to mount a multi pin socket to the radio - and then plug in a mic ??
Mine is a plug in
Depends if they have up down buttons etc. Some radios only have this function on the Mike.OOP's .... but at least now you have a slim chance of replacing then.
Is it not possible to plug in a non Raymarine Mic ?? I have various old radios that it makes no odds which mic goes to which ... all work ...
In ye olden days it would have been simply 4 wires
Audio
Tx
Rx (probably)
Shield..
But the pin outs were not the same on all radios.
Then add a method of changing channels on the mike .
Plug in any old mike ,radio may well simply go into constant Tx or worse
