[Kenwood] Microphone Extention for TMV7A

Mike,

If you buy the separation kit for the V7, you get a very neat mic 
extension.  It's neat, because the RJ45 connector is built into a small 
black frame that's easy to mount, and doesn't take up a lot of space.  Very 
nice for a mobile install.  You can buy just the mic extension without 
buying the separation kit, but the price is $40, almost the cost of the 
entire kit!  I wish Kenwood would sell just the jack, and not the entire 
assembly, but so far I haven't been able to find the part number for the 
jack by itself.

You can also use an RJ45 jumper and an RJ45 coupler that you should be able 
to pick up at Staples, or Office Max, or anyplace that sells computer 
accessories.

Is there a microphone cable extension for the TMV7A?

I'm considering separating the rig and control head to save shelf space, 
but
will need a longer microphone cable if I do that.
