As title.
Snowy, G0HZE asked me if I had this manual. I found it and have now sent him a pdf copy that I did this weekend.
(It was when doing this on my other pc with old scanner that my Win10 pc crashed and is now pretty useless! Subject of another thread).

At 7Mb, it is too big to put on here.

If anyone has this mic and wants a pdf copy, pm me with your email address and I will send it to you.
It dates from the 1980s and the pcb can be linked for am or fm systems from the internal electret insert.

Just hope that dozens are not requested!!

Please only request if you have a need for this rather than to just keep a personal copy on file "in case".....

I feel sure, that if just a few people have it, then if in the future I cannot oblige for whatever reason, others will then be able to help out with distribution.

Thanks,
Rob

Those mics were popular on the late-80s/early-90s taxi base stations I ran; typically feeding a Pye MX290 series transceiver in a power-supply box that ran from mains but could also work from a 12V battery.

See photo, i've got a similar power-unit here.

M80 series mic. They were good even if not quite in the tulip mic league.

Do I remember that you could lock on transmit by depressing then sliding the pressel bar towards you?

You couldn't do that with a tulip mic. It needed a rubber band!
