[Milsurplus] HS-30 Adapter Cord

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Joe,

Headset HS-30 was supplied with headband, two receivers and wye cord CD-620. 
CD-620 is terminated in two small spade lugs. To use HS-30, you need one of 
four additional cords which attach to the spade lugs. Two of the four cords are 
terminated with PL-54 and also require Bailout Cord CD-307-A, which was made 
in various lengths. Two of the four cords are longer and terminated in PL-55 
(don't require CD-307-A). One of each length cord includes a step-up transformer 
and the resultant assembly is 8000 ohms. The other of each length includes a 
straight-through terminal block and the resultant assembly is 256 ohms.

CD-604 8000 ohms, 6" length teminated in PL-54. Requires CD-307-A.
CD-605 8000 ohms, 36" to 80" length teminated in PL-55.
CD-933 256 ohms, 6" length teminated in PL-54. Requires CD-307-A.
CD-874 256 ohms, 36" to 80" length teminated in PL-55.

The short answer is that someone has already installed a CD-604 on your HS-30 
so you need a CD-307-A and the receiver needs to be connected for high 
impedance output.
