Siltronix 1011D To Non Amplified Astatic D-104 DuKane 7C40 Wiring

I've got a working un-modified Siltronix 1011D and I'm having a difficulty figuring out the microphone wiring. Evidently someone has put a non-stock cord on this non amplified D-104.

My non amplified DuKane 7C40 Astatic D-104 has a shield, a Black and a White wire. I connected the shield to the common ground terminal on the 1/4" microphone plug . I connected the Black to the tip and the White to the ring. It cuts off the receive audio when I plug it in. It will modulate fine on sideband. I reversed the Black and White wires and it does the same thing. There is continuity between the red and black as well as the shield to either insulated wire (no resistance). Should this microphone cord have 3 insulated wires and a shield? What am I doing wrong?

Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
