Apology to Scott and all:
After reading Duane's note below, I took a more careful look at the adapter for
the
Heil that I was describing in my last note. Darned if I had not, some long time
ago, screwed it in to an unwired female socket, such that when I was looked at
it
casually, it appeared to be a male plug. It is not. It is a female socket. It
fits right into the mic socket on the front of the Omni VI. Sorry to mislead
all.
In fact, I plugged it in to the Omni and the Heil, pushed vox and was on the
air.
Learn something new every day. Thanks, Duane. (That is how often I use SSB).
I'll
try it on the Ten-Tec net this coming Sunday.
