Just make sure the grounds and shields are properly handled. The Orion's
4-pin mic connection is a little picky about how it wants to work correctly
regarding the mic shield and the PTT return.

John,
I sent an email to Lyman at hatchermikescb@yahoo.com and he will make up 4
pin to 8 pin or 8 pin to 4 pin or anything you want to adapt any mic to any
rig for $18.99 plus $4.99 shipping.
I note he has 99.6% Positive Feedback for 1930 transactions on eBay so he
must make a good product.
Thanks again for the lead on this.
Happy Holidays,
Lee N0LYW
