Thank you Milt and Eric! I jury rigged something up right quick to test it out and that pin10/Ignition Sense did the trick. Will order up a plug kit this week for a more permanent install.
Also helps if I know how to turn the blasted radios on as well. Wasn't expecting a 'push the center of the volume knob' but a 'twist to turn on' like the GM300 and most HTs. My surprise when the volume knob never 'clicked'. Time to go looking for manuals for the radios and the Rick, I guess.
