Correct me if I am wrong but to be able to transmit on this radio there are 2 pins on the octal plug that should be crossed, right???

If that is true which pins do you cross?

I would like to test this radio out

Hey FX see page 124 (I think) for cabling hook-ups....but you might want to run through the check list section( about 10 previous pages) just to make sure everything is as it should be first...

ok I managed to find an Amphenol 8 pin octal plug in my junk box... it almost fits... but it only lines up maybe 4 pins at a time, the other 4 are off a bit... what GIVES?
 
It's page 126 of that link, and I don't see anything requiring "crossing" any of the pins. Just curious, but why do you want to operate a transmitter (especially one this old) without a receiver?

Click to expand...

just testing it out, making sure it's up and running before I do anything
 
How are you going to know if the transmitted signal is stable, on frequency (the Marauder doesn't have a digital display, IIRC) and clean? Be sure to use a dummy load...
