MFJ-1272B TNC/Microphone Switch

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the MFJ-1272B TNC/MIC Switch.  This switch is
designed to allow simultaneous connection of both your microphone and your TNC
to the radio.

CAUTION

Always check your radio's owner's manual to see if there is a voltage on one of the
pins of the microphone before hooking up the microphone switch.  You could
damage your radio by connecting the PTT line to a voltage source.  Do not connect
any pin labeled as a voltage source to PTT !
