Gents,
If you have one of the new Yaesu FTM-400 DR radios, you know that the 
microphone plugs into
the radio and not the control head.  This makes remoting the radio 
difficult in some instances.
I have made a microphone extension for my radio and have ordered the 
couplers (double female)
that will allow you to use a RJ-11 cord (6 conductors with male 
connectors on both end) to extend
the microphone.

I also have the crimp on RJ-11 male plugs but I do not have a supply of 
wire.  I think I can take
an 8 conductor Ethernet cable (cutting off the RJ-45 plugs).  If you are 
interested, please let me
know and give me a specific length cable. Cost of the RJ-11 plugs and 
jack is $3.00.

I would like to find some used Ethernet cable to use.

Bill
