Steve:

Kevin clued me in on this, and I am all set on both counts.  I have received
and already installed the 8-pin connector cable for the Heil mic, as well as
the needed amplifier cable with the larger din plug for the 590.

Haven't yet tried everything, but I have reason to believe that they are the
proper cables.

Thanks for the "heads up" anyway, since that is obviously very important
information.

I hope to have the rig on the air within the next few days.

I am proceeding cautiously here, rather than jumping right into stuff and
perhaps being sorry later if I let the smoke out of something.

Tom,

One final thought.  Don't know if you have the radio in the shack yet,
or if you are aware of this already, but the mic and din's are different
between the 480 and 590.   The 590 uses the round 8 pin mic and not the
modular jack found on the 480.    Also the 480 has a mini din for the
amp keying and you will need a different cable for the 590.

Luckily for me, Steve  WA1RTB had tipped me off that the  590 and 2000
use the same cables, so no problem here in switching mic, amp, and data
cables  from  the 2000 to the 590.
