I've been attempting to run my broadcast audio chain into my Pegasus with limited success. I'd been informed, variously, that the mike input to the Ten Tec rig was low impedance - balanced (which is what I need), high impedance unbalanced, low impedance unbalanced and high impedance balanced :-). The manual I have is devoid of information and I have no schematic.

So, I called Gary, N4CJX, at Ten Tec -- the "Peg tech". He says the mike input is high impedance (about 10K) unbalanced -- which is the usual amateur practice (strangely). He's also sending me a schematic (yippee!). Anyway, armed with that knowledge, I'll employ a matching transformer and pad and all should be well -- unless I run into more RF incursions.

I just thought I'd pass along the information in case anyone else is curious.

Many thanks and 73,
