Impedance Selection

You can set the microphone impedance to 500 i2 or 50 ki2. Slide the 50W500 IMP. switch on the top of the microphone to your desired position.

Microphone Preamplifier

You can use this microphone with any KENWOOD transceiver. It has been designed especially for FM and SSB mobile transceivers. You can control the preamplifier using the MIC AMP INIOUT switch on the inside of the base of the transceiver.

You can use the microphone without the base stand by connecting the microphone to the retractable cable, then directly to the transceiver. Doing so means you can no longer use the preamplifier,which is built info the base stand.

With a direct connection to the transceiver, you must use the ONIOFF switch located on the top of the microphone when you transmit. Slide the switch to the ON position to transmit, and to the OFF position to receive.

UPIDOWN Switcli

Use the UPIDOWN switch to select the transceiver's operating frequency. Refer to your transceiver instruction manual for further details on how to select an operating frequency.
