See here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/maxtrac ... mikes.html scroll down to where it explains how to do this. It's not real simple and involves cutting it open because they're sealed shut.

Don't know how to post a link , try the search feature Radiobuff asked the same in the past. Radiobuff as author with HMN1056D as the subject should give you what you seek.

Thank you very much!

I did find the link. I also read about the freezing method of opening the mic.

Wish me luck.....

Funny, I asked this same question a year ago, & someone suggested putting the mike in the freezer. I thought it was an attempt at humor, until I read the link, & saw it identical, word for word. In my case the GTX could be jumpered in the back to do the same thing. GARY N4KVE

SUCCESS! :D

Freezing the for two days in the freezer, then hitting it with a small rubber mallet broke the seal.

Thank you to everyone who replied.

I just throw them in the trash when they are broken.... Why waste time on a $35 mike? :wink:
