Gotcha. Not sure if you mentioned if yours was a 16 channel or not. If an 8 
channel, the above link lists pin 4 as a spare, and instructs that pin 8 
should be used for COR active low. Since you mentioned getting voltage out 
of pin 4, I'm assuming yours is a 16 channel radio. Folks with an 8 channel 
model would not have the option you are using.
