I am getting back into the hobby and am researching a new HT in that section of the forum... well, I am also looking into getting a moblile rig back in the car.
I have an old Kenwood TMV-7A that used to be in my old car. It worked fine the last time I used it a few years back, so I want to put it in my Xterra.
I had the head separation kit, and I think a wire was cut by a friend that was "helping" me get it out of my car... ugh. Well, the kit - DKF-4C has long since been discontinued, and I can't find it anywhere.
Is it possible that aother kid woud mate correctly and make this work, or should I rejoin the cut wire if possible?
Also, in my research, it appears that the Mic cable extension is basically a CAT5 cable - is this correct?
If so, the only cable it looks like I may need could be the one that links the head unit bracket to the main unit.
I have antenna mounting questions too, but will wait on those until I fing our of this is even worth doing. If not, I may en up shopping for a new mobile rig after all..
Thanks!
Bill
