That hole on the left looks like its for the bracket that usually accompanies the radio. There should be a matching hole on the right. To hook it up for power, you can just run it straight to the battery - red is positive, black is negative. Pick up an inline fuse at the local auto parts store also. For the antenna - well you kind've have to figure out where you want it mounted and how tall you're willing to live with first. The mag mount antennas usually come with the coax that plugs into the back of the radio. If you want a different type of antenna, you'll have to buy coax, too. There are a lot of options. I hate to tell you, but it's going to be a challenge to find a new mic with that type of plug. All of the "4 pin" configurations have the pins in a square pattern now. Maybe someone on the forum here has a mic that will work with that. If not, it probably would be easier to buy an inexpensive new radio than to try and locate a mic that will work with what you have.

[QUOTE="Moleculo, post: 161760, member: 1"] That hole on the left looks like its for the bracket that usually accompanies the radio. There should be a matching hole on the right. To hook it up for power, you can just run it straight to the battery - red is positive, black is negative. Pick up an inline fuse at the local auto parts store also.

The mag mount antennas usually come with the coax that plugs into the back of the radio. If you want a different type of antenna, you'll have to buy coax, too. There are a lot of options.
