HISTORY:
Working through the boxes of electronic spare parts I have gathered together over the years, originally this microphone was partnered with the GME ELECTROPHONE TX4000 UHF transceiver that will be advertised shortly. The TX4000 can be found HERE (NOT YET LIVE)
Good solid microphone, nice heavy duty "curly cord" with that added facility to activate the Selcal DTMF signal within the transceiver. I have no idea if this microphone may suit use with other GME communications equipment, it is a basic condenser microphone type but does have the special (looks like DIN but it is not DIN standard) 6 pin connector.
GME ELECTROPHONE (Australia) - Transceiver Microphone
GME Electrophone is the brand name used by Standard Communications (Gladesville NSW)
Model: Unknown (not labelled - the ID area on the rear of the mic is blank)
This microphone was "married" with a couple of TX4000's I had in my box of radio equipment, I assume this is the correct microphone for that equipment - testing of this microphone was made using one of those TX4000's
Microphone insert: Condenser (NOT a dynamic mic)
Estimated year of release is around 2010
Rugged construction with a nice heavy duty "curly cord" and terminated with a metal 6 pin female plug with lock ring.
Nice microphone "feel" which comfortably fits into the hand
Easy to operate PTT side button
Topside SELCAL activate button
Clip ring on the rear is included
WEIGHT: 150g
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
NO physical damage at all
NO substantial marks or scratches on the body, only light handling wear
Push-To-Talk side button operates easily and smoothly
Curly cord (6mm diameter sheath) has NO nicks or sheath damage and the coils all have integrity, meaning that the curly cord has not been unduly stretched in the past.
6 pin "DIN style" metal female plug is in good shape and undamaged
TESTING:
I have tested this microphone with one of the TX4000's I have or had (I had two of these TX4000's and the first TX4000 found a new owner almost as soon as it was advertised) - it was a fully functioning transceiver and this microphone keyed the transmitter, Selcal transmission worked and there was modulation (my voice!) so this microphone looks to be in great working condition.
I have now placed this microphone into a sealed clear plastic pack, awaiting a new owner.
