Yep...it sure will run with the Corsair 2. Used to use that set up
when I was learning QRQ.
Corsair 2 Hercules 444
Accessory Socket Control Socket
Pin 8 ----------------------------------------------------------------Pin 1
Pin 1-----------------------------------------------------------------Pin 2
Rx Ant connector----------------------------------------------Receiver
ANT ----------------------------------------------------------------Transceiver
Pin 8 & 1 should be a shielded cable. Pin 8 is the 'T' voltage; Pin 1
(acc socket) is GND.
Between the Rx ANT and the Receiver connector, use a small coax (I used RG-174)
Should work like a charm. Good luck!
