Anyone have any ideas on how to wire up these mics to a RCI 2950DX.

Thanks Murray

Does the 2950DX receive without a microphone connected?

Well, I don't know if the 2950DX receives without the microphone connected. If it does, then the answer is simple. If not, then I don't know how to do it.

Here is the standard Kenwood microphone wiring. The colors vary slightly from model to model, but this information came from the MC-80 manual and I confirmmed it is correct for a Kenwood MC-85 also.

Kenwood Mic Pinout

1 - White - Mic Audio
2 - Red - STBY (PTT)
3 - Brown - Down
4 - Blue - Up
5 - Green - NC - +8V @10mA - to power microphone
6 - NC - No Connection
7 - Shield - GND (Mic)
8 - Black - GND (STBY)

Yes, it does Receive without A microphone being connected or at least my 2970DX and 2995DX does with the same boards.
