Hi Mark and Group,
 
Using a mic with XLR such as the Goldline wire it as follows:
 
 
XLR = Pin # 1 (shield/gnd) to mic connector case - this shield wire comes  
back out of
                                                                           
the connector and is secured by wrapping
                                                                           it 
around one of the screws you tighten
                                                                         down 
 to hold the mic cord in place.
 
XLR = Pin # 2 This is the Audio Send (+) it wires to Pin # 1 on  the Orion 
mic connector.
 
XLR = Pin # 3 This is the Audio Return ( - ) it wires to Pin # 2 on the  
Orion Mic connector
 
 
If you are using a Foot Switch or separate PTT switch: wire as  follows:
 
PTT or Foot Switch wire one side to Pin # 3 on the Orion mic connector, the  
other wire wires to the shield (chassis ground) at the Orion mic  connector.
 
Or 
 
You can bypass the mic connector all together for the PTT or Foot Switch  and 
use the AUX I/O as shown on page 28 of the Orion's Operations Manual.
 
Or
 
You can use the CW 1/4" phono plug on the front of the Orion and in Menu  
under CW change 
SSB: CW Jack PTT = On. (this is what I use)
 
 
If I can be of further help let me know
