Write your reply.

assistant: On (08 Sep 96) Matthew Sadler wrote to John Jewkes...
Not really true.
The difference between the 340 & 350 is the housing lengths.  Wether
or not either is programable is NOT indicated by THOSE numbers.  Also,
the frequency range IS NOT indicated at all by those numbers.  The
MX-3xx line was produced in 70 Mhz, 140-172 MHz, 406-512 MHz, & 800 MHz.
You can tell if it is crystal contolled or synthesized by the MX number.
If it ends with a "-S" then it is synthesized.
To know exactly the power output & freq range the easiest way to know
is to use the model number found on the back cover (assuming it is the
correct back cover).
If you could get the model number I could give you some more info
on what you have.  Also, I see you are in Portland.  We have a group
of hams that meets on Sunday nites for pizza & several of us are
familar with the MX series of radios from a professional & amateur
experience.  If you would like to bring it write me back & I will
let you know more about when we meet.
A few of us have some of those for sale also if you (or anyone else!)
are interested.
Good luck.

If you still want to know the mic's connector type it is a double
connector that plugs right into the handhelds (Kenwood),
one looks like the typical headphone stereo male connector , well
actually they both looke the same except that one is smaller than the
other the smoller i think is mini type. They are NOT the RCA or DIN.
, but remmember they are very close to each other and there is no
way to use only one , unless you break it and solder new ones.
The mic head has a female mini type connector at the bottom of the head.
It is used for a headphone mini connector.
