[GreenKeys] ST-8000A

[Larry Tighe]

John,

Just cut the wire off of the mil. connectors and use them to the 
conventional ones you're going to install.  Many will be of no use to 
you....you can pull them out of the "pinch" slots and discard them.

I think it was the "Remote" hole I used for the "headphone" plug for the 
added loop keyer I got from Tom Tillson.  You float it above ground with an 
insulator sleeve or, as I did, use a lucite piece with a hole for the jack 
and mount that with those remaining 4 mount holes.
