Uniden 510XL receive only?
 

I have a Uniden 510XL that I would like to use to listen without the mic
attached. When I unplug the mic I get no audio. I rarely talk and
don't have much room in my car so I would like to leave the mic
unplugged unless I am using it.

Anyone have an idea of a way to trick the radio into thinking the mic is
attached? Or maybe another small (and cheap) CB that doesn't need the
mic attached?

Thanks.

If you have an extra mic plug you can put a jump wire from the ground pin to
the receive pin.

Thanks. Shorted the lower two pins and it works great.
