Hi Les,
So, does anyone on the reflector know how to wire up this older (5 years)
Rigblaster? Where did I go wrong?
I have used the original Rigblaster with the K2 and MH2 mic no problem.
One tip, I had the 4 pin mic connector on the front, but the PC board is the
same, and I had removed the 4-pin connector, and soldered in a PC mounted 8
pin modular jack for my IC706MkIIG. Later when I moved it to the K2, I took
that out and soldering in a 8pin jack into the holes right behind the
modular jack. This was easy since my case was for the round connector to
start with. You might have to open up the square hole some. Then you do
not have to play adapter games with your mic.
I also put the 5.6K resistor in the mic cable connector, not the radio, so I
can use the radio with dynamic mics (like the Pro Set) and move the mics
around between rigs.
I cannot find any special notes and it looks like mine was wired straight
through, but you have to make sure you are intercepting the PTT line in the
RIGBlaster jumper header correctly, this should not pass though, as the PTT
needs to go into the RIGBlaster first.
