Frequently Asked Questions

What radios use the 4-pin microphone connector that the SK201 suits?

The SK201 suits older style GME hand microphone connectors. GME transitioned from 4-pin to 8-pin microphone connectors across their fixed mount radio range over time — newer models such as the TX3520 series use 8-pin connectors. Confirm whether your specific radio model uses a 4-pin or 8-pin connector with GME before purchasing.

Why would I need to replace the microphone socket?

Chassis-mount microphone sockets can be damaged by mechanical stress on the microphone cable, water ingress, corrosion in marine environments, or wear from frequent connection and disconnection. A damaged socket can cause intermittent microphone operation or no microphone function — replacing the socket restores correct operation.

Is installation of the SK201 socket straightforward?

The SK201 is a chassis-mount socket, meaning it mounts into an existing hole in the radio panel or chassis. Replacement involves unsoldering the old socket from the radio's circuit board and soldering in the new SK201. This work should be performed by a qualified technician if you are not comfortable with electronics soldering.

Is the SK201 an 8-pin or 4-pin socket?

The SK201 is a 4-pin socket — it suits older GME radio models. Current GME fixed mount radios typically use an 8-pin microphone connector. Confirm the pin count of your radio's microphone socket before purchasing.

Does the SK201 include the microphone?

No — the SK201 is a socket only. The hand microphone is purchased separately and connects to the radio via this socket.
