[MRCA] Audio "Y" Cable For PRC-104

[Peter Gottlieb]

Line audio comes out of the control jack but the connector is completely unobtanium as it was a custom design and never manufactured in any significant volume before being discontinued.

A company called tactic ale engineering (www.tacticaleng dot com) manufactures them new, for the le, low price (!) of $175.00 each.  Fortunately, there's an alternative.  The Harris company makes a "y-cable that looks different, but performs the exact same function, and it's much more untrainable.  Search for "Y" Adapter P/N 10372-1230 and you should find some.  Last time I checked, Scott at American Milspec had some for around $65, and I bought mine off of everyone's favorite auction site for about $45.00.  I'll try to attach pcs of mine for reference.  It looks ugly, but it does the trick.

So I can attach the key and handset or speaker.  One of my green radio friends has one and the numbers on the cable are as follows…
