[Motorola] External Antenna Adaptor MT-1000?

[Dennis Wade]

One of my Moto speaker mikes has a port on the top of the universal
connector.  Is that an RF port...into which the NKN6408A would plug
into?  What size is that plug anyway..the port on my mike is pretty
small.

        Thanks to all for the replys.
