assistant: Hi Doug N9pkn, hope you are having a nice day
 I happen to have the service manuals for the 2900, and the 2950/2970
The mic connections are the same for all three and are as follows
1 Ground               4
2 Audio                     3
3 Xmit             5    6     k
4 Recv                      1
5 Ch UP               2
6 Ch DN
 It's not the greatest drawing, but this is looking at the front
of the radio. The "k" is the keyway.  Below is a schematic of the
mic.  It is in recieve position and according to the manual the
mic is a 400 ohm dynamic.  From experience, this has to be spec
unless you want to go in and reset everything for a different
impeadence.

wires. Somehow I reworked all the cable heads to the point that now now
none of them work. ( Opps ) I don't have any of the manuels and am just
playing a guessing game.
Does anyone have a drawing of how the cable heads are wired for each
model?
I would apprieate a copy of the wiring set-ups. If you have a copy
please leave me a message here. If you want I do have a fax on this
machine but I can't run it at the same time with my modem program. If
you have a copy of the wiring let me know and I'll get with you for a
time to fax it to me, if you can't leave it here on the machine for me.

 No problem.
 That should be close enough.  You'll have to adjust the mic gain
accordingly, but it should work.  Interestingly enough, the 2900
has the same input circuit (except for the tie to the audio out amp)
The mic I used with the 2900 (bought used 2900 with a different mic)
was transformer coupled and worked just fine, but with the 2950 I could
yell into the mic with a bullhorn, and be asked why I was whispering. <G>
Needless to say, I switched mic elements *real* quick.
