D-104 mic and HW-100

[W6CUX]

Tom,

Either position will work as explained in the D104g manual
but the 'R' position is prefered for the HW-100.

The amplifiers are not required for the HW100 or any of the
SB- transmitters. They are intended to match the HiZ mic to
the LoZ input of transistorized rigs. The G stand did not
originally have an amplifier, but was added as a kit. The
amplifier is not well designed and unless adjusted properly
will overdrive the AF preamp in the HW-100.

BTW, that battery going dead means a miswire. The amp draws
about 6mA and the battery should last forever

I use an unamplified D104 with my SB-401 and I usually run
the MicGain at 12:00 with close talking. It works well with
good frequency responce.

Below is a link where I replaced a bad crystal element in a
104 with a RadioShack electret element. (I later removed the
amplifier). This is my main mic.

I'm looking to pick the brains of the old-timers. I have two
D-104 mics. One is on the G Stand and the other is on the
T-UG8. The G Stand has the amplifier with the toggle switch
for battery conservation but I have not yet tried this mic
except to try it's D-104 head on the T-UG8(which I have
used) to verify that it works. I use the T-UG8
intermittently and find that the battery goes dead in a
matter of a few weeks even without use. Is this normal?

The T-UG8 activates transmit on my HW-100 with the E/R
switch in either position and I use it on the R position.
Does it really matter which position I use. The G Stand does
not have an E/R switch. Was that the way that option kit
came? When I look at the document at BAMA I don't see
reference to E/R for that G Stand option. (if there are
readers not familiar with E/R... E is electronic switching
and R is relay switching)

Thanks & 73,

Tom K3TVC
