Went looking for a pinout of that connector... no luck yet.

Lots of places on the web that have service manuals for your radio. Even the
basic owners manual for the radio should have the mic pin-outs.

Well I think all the pins are doing something. Its got a touchtone
pad on the back of the mike itself, its got a scan band button, a
fav chnl button, an up/down button, a ptt button of course,
and a priority chnl button. Its not that I could'nt wire up a new
mike plug myself with a ledo lamp I can see well enuff, its obtaining
a 16 (receptacle pins) connector that is hard to find. No one locally
has such a plug.

P.S. The bronze or whatever material that forms the pin feceptacles
have lose their springiness so I keep bushing them back together with
a tiny screw driver, and spraying them with DEOXIT for good contact,
but the darned things again spread and stay spread no matter how I
try get them to cooperate after a few times of useing the radio I
start the process all over again. I suppose all the mikes and
cords for that old trusty PCS3000 fixed stn rig are in a garbage
dump tomewhere.
