Hi Don thanks for this.

I’m in Canada and I finally went to Radioworld.ca <http://radioworld.ca/> who 
is our Heil dealer. 

With the great response I got from this group and input from them this is the 
order they put together for me…

HEI-HM12 Desk Microphone using Heil Sound Standard CC-1 Connecting Cable System 
HEI-SM1   Shock mount for boom microphones 
HEI-PL2T  Proline balanced arm with topless boom mount 
HEI-DT1    Flush mount for desktop mounting of the PL-2T. 
HEI-HSTAK Adapter cable, traveller to Kenwood 8 Pin (remove)

I’ve just put a question into them about the cable that goes from the mic, 
through the boom and into the 8 pin Kenwood adapter cable. How does this order 
look?

Not sure if a “traveller cable" is part of this or I need to order a separate 
one. Doesn’t look like it from the website. 

As for Bob being away, that’s fine. I’m just surprised he would not have put an 
auto reply message letting anyone know he’s away. That would save folks from 
being left to flap in the wind never knowing if a reply will ever come.

Unless I’ve missed something he’d probably sell a lot more of these things if 
he took some of the friction and guess work out of configuring and ordering for 
those of us without a commercial broadcast history. 

I just tried calling in but all the technical staff will not be back from 
Florida yet but it sounds like I need a.. 
HEI-HSTAK Adapter cable, traveller to Kenwood 8 Pin  

and not the HEI-HSTAK Adapter cable, traveller to Kenwood 8 Pin. Oh and when 
they say modular cable they mean an RJ45 connector. 

Phew!

Thanks,
