Just asking because i have heard from one guy that his radio is doing fine with Msa Sordins Dual Comm´s and the Nexus U94 it came with ..... No impedance issues for him with the original mic he said!
Weird – no, I didn't try that. Doesn't really make much sense, if you think about it! But I guess I should have tested it out. Maybe saved myself a lot of trouble (and damaging a good piece of gear!)

Right now I've got other problems – discovered that the replica U-283 connector in my radio SNAPPED at the threads. Apparently it did this earlier and I just hadn't noticed that it was broken rather than designed that way... but now more recently when disconnecting a handset it pulled apart the housing inside... I can't see any way to get it back together where this isn't going to keep happening. So I'll probably need to replace it with a real U-283 – which I seem to remember reading requires modding the radio to make fit!

I really WANT to like this radio, but man, it's giving me headaches.
