[Orion] Mic hook-up to Orion

[N0KHQ at aol.com]

Hello All,
 
For those that may not have seen a post by Paul Clinton with TT, I'll  repost 
it here for your use.
 
Orion Mic Wiring (Later Versions -around June of this year I believe, could  
be a little earlier)
 
Orion Mic connector:
Pin # 1 = Mic Send +
Pin # 2 = Mic Return -
Shield to mic connector through to the Mic body (or Pin # 1 if your using  
XLR connectors)
 
Pin # 3 = PTT
Pin # 4 = 9+VDC
 
Good mic cable (as sold by Heil) will have the Mic + and Mic - wrapped  in 
the shield.
 
To verify whether you have an older version of Orion, take an Ohm Meter,  set 
to measure resistance, put one lead on the Orion Mic connector, put the  
other lead on the ground wing nut on the back of the Orion........you should  read 
a direct short........no resistance whatsoever. Older versions of the Orion  
had you using Pin # 2 as ground as shown in the operations manual.
 
Hope this helps a few
