[Orion] Heil Pro-Set wiring for use with Orion

[Tom Wagner]

Thanks to all that replied.  The message below got stuck in 
approval land, so I have already found a solution.

First off, I believe the main RFI problem was a stripped
SO239 on a transmatch.  The transmatch had about 90' of
ladder-line and an 80m dipole attached to it, close to
the source of RF.  My guess it that it was arcing, and
causing most of the RFI. 

On the Heil Pro-Set, I tried two solutions.  The first
was to ground pin 2.  Don't do that.  It doesn't work.
What seems to be the correct solution is to separate 
the ptt ground from the mic ground.  Bring the ptt 
ground to the shell of the connector. 

Again, thanks to all that replied.

Subject: [Orion] Heil Pro-Set wiring for use with Orion


Is there a way to wire the Heil Pro-Set to
work with the Orion?  It looks like TenTec wants a shielded
twisted-pair from the mic to pins 1 & 2, with the shield 
grounded.  The Heil Pro-Set has a single wire coaxial cable.
It works when connected between 1 & 2, but on high power 
it is susceptible to rfi.

Has anyone solved this problem?
