All of the following is found on the main page...

Here is the connector on the radio. You'll be using the outer 4 pins.

The pinout of the KVL to Spectra Cable is as follows (refer to the mic connector pinout above for proper pin orientation):

KVL DESCRIPTION SPECTRA Mic
9 GND 1
8 Key 10
7 /WE 2
6 KID 9

Here is the KVL plug. Use the above matrix to match up the plugs.

The pins for the KVL are listed in my post.

Pins 9, 8 ,7 and 6.

9 - Ground
8 - Key
7 - /WE
6 - KID

The picture of the MX connector is the same as the KVL. All you have to do is match the pins and you'll be all set.
