ON Becker AR3201 there is a jumper to switch between Dynamic (un-amplidfied)
microphones to Standard (Corbon, Amplified Dynamic and Electret)
mjicrophones..however, on the AR4201 there are different Pin-outs for the
different microphone types, it is NOT done by changing anything internal to
the radio!
The 3201 runs only one type mic at a time, the 4201 actually supports 4
microphones at one time, (2) standard and (2) Dynamic....Ted's radio will be
a 4201 for sure. the AR3201 has not been produced now for about 6-8 years

Ted,
If you want to try wiring in a different mic (and flipping
a switch under the cover of the radio to change to
the other mic style setting), the wiring diagram is
available at:

Assuming here that it is a 4201 you have. Otherwise,
Rex's comments are good. Try installing an identical
radio and see if you have the same problem. I suspect
you will. I bet Rex or Tim or one of the guys could
get a replacement mic on its way to you tomorrow.,
as I suspect that is where your problem really is.

V2C coming soon, huh? Nice! I suspect you will like
it a LOT!
