[ICOM] Kenwood to ICOM mic adapter?

[Mike Brown]

Don't know of any adapter, but you should be able to rewire it,
using the same 8 pin plug. Probably not in every case, but the
white wire is usually mic audio, red ptt, and you have your
black and braid for grounds. Just unsolder those wires (and of
course any others) and try matching up what wire goes where.
Having the manual for the IC-745 will help, having both books,
should make for an easy job.
