[TenTec] [Orion] Microphone connections

[Tommy]

Bill...I certainly agree with you. YOUR best solution is to exercise the 30
day policy and get a rig with on 8-pin connector. If you don't know how to
make the appropriate changes, makes one wonder how you got your ticket? I'm
even surprised you would accept the plain ole LCD screen when you could have
a pretty colored one?

Although Ten-Tec indicates a possibility of RF getting into the rig if the
microphone shell is not connected ot the shield of the microphone cable, I'm
curious as to whether this is seen as a real-life problem. I have invested
in some Heil equipment that I use with my Jupiter, the Pro Set Plus, for
example, that causes no problem with the Jupiter, but if Ten-Tec is to be
believed, I must not use that headset with the Orion without kludging the
connectors. Likewise with the CC-1 with the footswitch connection that Heil
sells that can be connected to the Studio One microphone. I don't want to
mess up my new radio, but at the same time, I don't want to waste my
investment either. Or perhaps I should take advantage of the 30 day return
policy and get a radio that uses an 8-pin connector that precludes these
problems.

TIA,

Bill, AK5K
