Alan - The 4 pins in the jack on the radio are numbered 1-4 counter clockwise starting from the lug. The microhone plug itself should also have the pins marked.

I had to look up the radio in my Sams manuals to find it's wiring:

1-Audio
2-TX
3-GND
4-RX

The Turner 251 should be as follows:

WHITE-AUDIO
SHIELD-GND
RED-RX
BLACK-TX

So you want to wire the mic:

1-White
2-Black
3-Shield
4-Red


I'd suggest you buy this book to learn the basics including how to wire nearly any microphone to any radio:

It's a great book to own, and I still refer back to it from time to time myself.

Good luck!

Thank You very much Racer X, I really do appreciate all the time you took to look this up for me, and explain in detail the assembly, Alan.
