Garey, Thanks, It is a TR-4 not a C. I will take a couple pictures and send to 
you. Thanks much. Boyd

Well, first of all, that's gotta be a TR-4, not a "C". It would be a 
Version 2 model.

There's always "one".... :-)

Any chance of a photo of the board? Anything else on that board except 
the parts you listed?

I can make a guess from what you have told me so far...

The Red (or White/Red) wire from the PTO should go to the terminal that 
also has a White/Red wire that is connected (via the harness) to R140, 
which is shown on Page 14. You should be able to verify that with an 
ohmmeter check. Also, in this version, you _should_ be able to turn 
on the transmitter with the PTO out and measure +150V regulated on that 
terminal. A cross check with the ohmmeter should read very close to 15k 
ohms from that terminal to the +150V bus.

The White/Green wire from the PTO should connect to the terminal that 
goes to the 100 ohm resistor on your board. The other end of that 
resistor should go to the coax that goes into the harness, and is the 
PTO output.

The White/Black wire from the PTO should connect to chassis ground, 
probably to a terminal on your board.

There "may" be another wire from the PTO, I don't have a TR-4 here to 
check, and have no idea as to the color code. But if you have one 
"left over", it would connect to that 22k ohm resistor. The other end 
of that resistor goes to Pin 2 of the RV-4 connector. I don't know much 
about the RV-4, but it looks like that Pin 2 is grounded or "open" for 
"normal" transceiver operation, and applies a positive voltage to the 
internal PTO to disable it and allow the RV-4 to control. My 
understanding is that the transceiver should operate normally with the 
RV-4 unplugged, which would leave that lead "floating", e.g., even if 
that wire were not connected to the 22k resistor the transceiver should 
work normally without the RV-4 plugged in.

Let me know!!
