[ICOM] Kenwood to ICOM mic adapter?

[Jim Miller]

I have a Heil headset and Gold Line that were for my TS440 and I asked Bob
Heil to make a converter cable for me and I now use them FB with the short
cable on my Icom 746(I know, I have to turn the mic gain all the way up to
use the Kenwood mic on the Icom).  He already knows the pinouts of course.

73, de Jim KG0KP
