Howdy guys, I've recently purchased an RF adaptor kit NTN8327B and I'm curious to know how the RF signal is sent to an XTVA or speaker mic with antenna present, is it through the accessory port on the side for the xtva? If it is their must be a cable that attaches to the port while the radio is in an xtva? Is the RF contact on the port shielded at all? or is it still just an audio signal that gets sent to the guts of the XTVA that then gets processed into an RF signal?

The RF adaptor goes in-line between the portable's ant conn and the antenna itself. In the XTVA, the adaptor mates to the cradle's RF interface. It is then routed out the "bottom", via a mini-UHF connector. That gets cabled to the controller/amp and out to the mobile antenna.

The portable's side "universal" connector works just like it does for a speaker mic--Rx audio is run to the speaker, PTT and Tx audio are run to the mic head. Tx/Rx just aren't in the same box like they are in an NMN-6191.
