Buy one male, and one female 8 pin mini din connectors.  Cut the cable 
and terminate each end with one of the mini din connectors.  Female on 
the radio side, and male on the remote head side.  Pin for pin.  Now, 
you can buy a mac computer extension cable with male-female connectors. 
These have 8 pin mini din connectors on them.  All 8 pins are wired 
thru, and the shield is connected to the metal sleeve.  Get a good 
quality cable with a good shield, etc.  These come in 6 ft, 8 ft., 10 
etc.  I needed a longer cable for my 706
mobile installation and that's what I did and it works very well. 73 Saad

I need the longest separation cable for my 706 MKII G.  I don't need the
whole separation kit, just the cable.  Where can I get one without
paying $50 to $60?

TIA,
