[TenTec] corsair paragon II mic pinout?

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

What's the power output in TUNE with the Paragon II?  Typically it should be 
100 watts +/- 10 watts on all bands.  For SSB the audio gain should be 
adjusted so the ALC light blinks frequently on voice peaks.  Different mikes 
will have different output levels thus the audio gain will need to be 
correctly adjusted for each mike.  Initially I suggest operating the radio 
with the PROC off.  If you elect to use the processor, the PROC level should 
be adjusted so the meter just peaks up to the black PROC bar and then the 
MIC gain adjusted for frequent blinks on the ALC LED indicator.

If you are trying to run the Paragon II on AM you will likely need a scope 
to properly adjust the audio.  RF PWR should set the carrier output about 20 
to 25 watts.  To get the radio in the AM transmit mode, press the LSB and AM 
buttons at the same time.  Otherwise, pressing only the AM button is AM 
receive.

thanks mike, i found out that the shure 444 mic that works with my corsair 
also works with my paragon II - so the pinouts are the same - now i have a 
different problem - my audio peaks on tha paragon with the shure mic are 
much lower than the corsair with the same mic. for instance when i give a 
quick whistle into the mic in usb i'm only getting about 80 watts out on the 
patagon - even lower on 40 meters. the corsair is over 100 watts - i'm 
wondering if the mic has something to do with it, could be that the input 
mic impedances between the radios, even though they are both ten tecs are 
different - that is what i'm hoping - man i wish i had the paragon manual.>
