John,

I have a Turner+3 and a TS-480.  Any suggestions as to where I might find
the wiring specs to make them work together?

Thanks,

Bob   KD8IXD

The only mics wired for kenwoods are Kenwood mics and if you get the right
cable for them the heil line of mics will work out great though that HC-4 is
torture to listen to and for DX only, I know you need the adapters for all
of the Kenwood mics, I think Heil sells cables for their mics for the TS-480
and the like now though. Beyond that you're on your own to wire them up
yourself. I run an audio technica ATR-30 on my TS-2000, with a W2IHY EQ, but
I hear with out it it sounds great too. I tried it once and it really was
good, I made a cable for that myself. I don't understand it, but I"m told
the turner plus 3 sounds good on the TS-480. I heard one and it was pretty
good, I was genuinely impressed. That would take some wiring though, mine is
wired for 4 pin kenwoods and staying that way because it's been rewired so
many times you're stripping wires now back at the coiled part of the cord
and that's a royal pain. Kenwoods almost always sound good, I just prefer
some sounds over others, especially with some voices. The MC-60 just doesn't
have a sound I like on the newer radios.
