[TenTec] Argonaut 509 and mic problems

[Mike Landmann]

I need some help with a Turner 350 Hi-Z mic and my model 509 Argonaut.  I just got the mic, which came without a plug, so I could start using phone with my Argonaut, but I have a wiring problem.  The manual says, in 2 places, to hook the tip to PTT, the band to the mic, and sleeve or barrel to ground.  The mic connections are audio white, PTT red and black (ground).  I wired it with the tip to red, band to white, and black and shield to the barrel, but when I push the PTT on the mic, even with the drive at minimum on the radio, I get a max deflection on the meter with the switch on the FWD position.  I looked at the circuit diagram for the radio, and it seems the tip of the mic should go to the audio, as it goes to the SSB module, and the band should go to PTT since it goes to the same line as the key.  Is this correct?  I don't want to take it apart to redo it if I'm missing anything else. 

Thanks,

Mike Landmann
