The GTX head contains a lot of stuff, much more than a MaxTrac. The unit interfaces with the rest of the radio with a flex cable which is very thin and has no connectors on the end, similar to the one in the GTX portable. The connectors in the head and main radio just accept the end of the flex cable which is missing insulation. I would say that is impractical to make a longer cable, and as there are no connectors to work with, it would not be mechanically strong enough to handle remote mounting.
