Wiring for Heathkit HDP-242 to Atlas210X

[Retroradio]

What is the wiring for a Heathkit HDP-242 desk microphone to a Atlas 210x Radio?

Which Color wire goes to what part of the jack. I have looked at the mic wiring and radio and followed them but I must be missing something as I am having no luck. Its not hard….lol Its just not co-operating.
I can get to to key , but no modulation….

Radio takes a 1/4“ jack ( Tip, Sleeve, Ring)
Mic has 6 wires.
Shield
White
Red
Black
Blue
Yellow.

Am I the only one running a classic radio a la Atlas 210x?

I suspect that there are other people running classic radios. However, I would not automatically assume that they hang out here. The most classic radio I have is a Kenwood TS-830S.

Well said but where else is there to look really…..
Well I willl hope I get a response as I have had some luck in the past with questions of this nature so fingers crossed.
A TS-830S is modern…….lol Thanks for the reply.

You might ask in other radio forums. If you are a Facebook or Reddit user, there might be somewhere on those platforms to ask about classic radios.

I tried that on an unamplified D-104 and had no luck but will try with the Heathkit mic tommorow.

I suspect tip is PTT, ring is mic audio and sleeve is all grounds.
