Microphone/Radio Question

So I did something stupid the other week. After installing a new vario and a
few other bits in my Ka-6 panel, i reassembled everything and proceeded to
test the radio. When I keyed the mic on my Terra TX-720 I blew the readio
fuse. Turns out I had mis wired the Mic.Instead of having the mic hooked up
to the power on one end I had inadvertantly wired it to ground.

The radio still receives, and when I transmit I can hear the carrier, but no
audio is broadcast. I haven't had a chance to further troubleshoot the
problem.

First question. Did I only fry the mic, or did I possibly fry something in
the radio?

Second, if it's just the mic I'd like to just get the nic element since I
won't need to eplace the gooseneck. Where can I find an appropriate
(non-dynamic) nic element?

Thanks

Peter

chances are you blew out the amplifier in the Mic if you are still sending
carrier
you'd need an amplified dynamic, carbon, or electet mic for the Terra
I don't have mic elements but liklely it's the amp in the mic that let go
and I do have mic amplifiers or complete boom and handheld microphones
