SW B+ is Vehicle battery-positive
SW B- (Pin 6 jumpers to 17 for Gnd

SQUELCH ties directly to the wiper on the squelch pot.
VOLUME ties directly to the wiper on the volume pot.

Correct on the Chan Select.
PTT LO goes to ground to xmit and 
PTT HI goes to ground through a pilot light XMIT indicator

A+ goes through the main fuse to the battery
SW B+ (4) connects to A+ (13) for "power on"
A- and B- are comon

I have a 4-ch Mitrek head I'll include with the other
stuff we discussed.... :)

The old metal MICOR, MOTRAC, T-POWER heads will
work fine - you just have to watch the wiring.  Don't forget
NOT to ground the Mitrek audio output - either side since it
is isolated from ground on both leads and does not use an
output transformer.  Grounding one side of the speaker can
destroy the audio output section....

Draw a small schematic with a single common point in the
center.  This is pin 11, DET AUDIO.  To the right, is a 3.3k
resistor connected to the high side of the SQUELCH pot.
From the single common point, connect a 10k resistor that 
goes to the high side of the volume control.  The outside of
both pots go to ground.
