4 Pin to 5 Pin Adapter On Uniden Grant XL

[Tx1Tek]

Hi everyone.
I just joined the board. I used to sideband from Alaska when I lived there in the 70s in Fairbanks, but been out of it for quite some time. I have a Uniden Grqnt XL I'll be using as a base and mobile for now. I purchased a 4 pin Astatic mic and didn't realize my radio is a 5 pin. would it work to get a 4 pin to 5 pin adapter, or will I be missing something?

Hello Tx1Tek,
Welcome to the forum. It's your choice, either the adapter or rewire the mic to a 5pin plug, I prefer the latter because the adapter hanging out the side is easily broken off. Just ask for the pin out. As a new member can you post a intro in the "Welcome to the Forum" topic, [Please login or register to view this link] , so others can say "Hi", thanks.

Hello. If you are not comfortable wiring on a new plug, an adapter will work fine. I have an adapter on my Uniden Washington.

Howdy Tx1Tec,

Sure thing, I use an adapter on my President Washington with the Silver Eagle and
I have an adapter jumper cable on my Cobra 142 GTL with the Night "K" Eagle.

They work wonderfully.

Welcome to CBRT, glad to have you. As before mentioned, either way will work great for you. Good luck.

I had about the same question in my mind. My favorite mic id my d-104 power mic and I have 2 radios now that I will be using. Eventually I will get a Galaxy Saturn or Cobra 2000. I don't really want to buy a d-104 for each radio so I was curious if I could get/make adapters to use the 5 pin Astatic on my other radios. I'm not near my Guardian but I'm thinking it is a 2 pin.
