MCS2000 Dual Head Cable

Post by KB2ZTX »

Has anyone tried or built a dual head cable. I hvae numerous MCS2000 mobile radios and am in dire need of a dual head radio for our SAR truck. I am looking for a diagram for the cable, and also what is different in the control head. Is there a way to modify a normal control head to do this ?

Any help would be great.

OK. Im in a major pinch and need to have a radio in this command post by October 6th for a large scale event so trying to do what i can. I am told by an ST t hat there is nothing in the cable other than the conenction and taking 2 remote head cables and splicing them will work, but i cannot find any documents to support it, or anything that says what the rear head has different. All the manuals speak specifically about the "rear" head as being different.
