[doctor]

I have a trc 496 rat shack 40 chnl cb, it has a modular jack on the mic which plugs into it<like a phone jack>, anyone know where I can get a mic like this preferably a amplified mic????
Or how or where to jack up the audio, the board says uniden

I don't know if you already found this or not, but there is a parts list located [Please login or register to view this link].
The catalog number for the mic is 11645405 and the part number is M00009. With a little luck maybe one of their stores might have one laying in the back room somewhere that they can transfer to a store near you. Other than that, I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know if I find anything else...

Appreciate the info, if by any chance you see the adjustment on the radio <inside> for the audio increase, thats what I need now..

Is there a number on the PCB? Since it is stamped Uniden it might be easier to find a schematic for it that way...

Ok I took the radio apart
here is what is stamped on it

1966 UNIDEN
TJE 018H8
PA-381AA 1/2

Hope this helps

Your asking a question on a post that is 15 years old, and asking a person who hasn't been on the forum since 2011 or 2015?

Somehow or another I highly doubt your going to get a answer...

snail-mail is slow no doubt..but if it was mailed back then, something tells me it was lost to the seas of time long-long-time-ago.

Yes I know all that, it was just a hail Mary.I have tried to p.P.M. him and can't get it answered.We have talked on the phone but no radio. No need for you to be ignorant, you must be a very unhappy person.Have a good day. warlock35po. VE1-CSP

I think you have him confused with CB Doctor, anyway Rick hasn’t been on the forum for a while either. I will say mailing things from the USA to Canada do get lost easily unless you use UPS or FedEx!

Hey Greg,It wasn't really confusion I just thought someone out there would have some info as to what may have happened with Rick.Once again it was a Hail Mary.I have had phone conversations with Rick about the radio and have tried a dozen or more times to P.M. him, can not get one to go through.Must be something on this end.Iam just trying to find out if the radio was shipped if so it was lost in the mail.Thanks for your input.

Over the years I would say his email has changed. His last post on the forum was in 2015. It is possible he may no longer be with us. Sorry.

your radio finally showed up,
it was at a swapmeet in Quartzsite laying in a tub of crystals.
it had so many "postage due" stickers on it, nobody wanted it,,,

[warlock35po]

Very amusing,i have one of yours here.It smells so much like horse dung I put on the garbage truck.Have a god day. warlock35po

all kidding aside, i too had that kinda radio, not sure of the exact model but same modular jacked mic, it was a high resistance mic and of poor audio performance so i found a "hi-z" desktop mic and had to re-wire ,,, was still a p.o.s. so i threw it in the river in an effort to get the high nitrogen bass **Censored** to etch it clean, but since it was a japanese radio, carperizing would have been more effective.
needless to say, it still sounded like it was underwater.

The one that has gone missing was my Dads radio He had it 25+ years it worked fine and sounded good When he passed away I decided to have it completely refurbed.looks like that may have been a poor decison.Regards,warlock35po
