Jim,
I am considering buying a set of the MURS radios from your advertiser [MURS Radio [1]] but I have a question for you and the readers. I want to use a microphone setup like this [2] but the plugs seem to be incompatible. The radio is a Kenwood K1 plug and the microphone is listed as Motorola Pro Series 2 pin. Are there adapters to connect the two or are there similar or better throat microphone setups that will work with the K1 plug? Thanks, – W. in Wyoming

Hi Jim,
I’m not aware of adapters that will convert microphone connections from one manufacturer to another. There is a site that I use often [3] that carries accessories for the $49 Kenwood MURS radios that I sell. The surveillance style microphones and earbuds can be found here [4]. I order from them and they have proved themselves a very good source for these accessories. I also have an accessories source page [5] on my site. Thanks! – Rob at MURS Radio [1]
