My wife bought me a new MC-60 microphone for Christmas for use with my KW 830S. The Mike cord came with a 8 pin connector and my radio has a 4 pin receptical. The paperwork that came with the mike says there is an adapter cord (PG-4A) available for this situation but nobody can tell me where to get one. Can any of you pros tell me what the pin to pin wiring is from the 8 pin connector to the 4 pin receiver. also where to get the necessesary connectors.
Thanks, Terry
