Icom multipin connector convertor?

Anyone know if there is a convertor out there that would allow me to use the standard two pin icom plugs with the new icom multiconnector (like on the F30/40/50)?

I have not seen one out for Icom yet. BTW you mean F30GS/GT F40GS/GT The F30/F40 are drastically different radios and have a different connector.

You might find something to fill your need here:

Wireless phone headsets and Cellular phone headsets from www.headsetusa.com

Yes that is what I mean, sorry for the confusion.

Nice link but they still dont have what I want...I want something like this: Two-way radio adaptors

But for an icom..

I have never seen anything like that for the Icom, but you might be able to get the accessory you need sans adapter.

What I need to do is use my headset PTT cable on my F40GT...however it is pinned for a 2 pin icom..so I was hoping there might be some kind of converter out there.

AFAIK, the specific PTT and cable are not made for an Icom multipin either...they are really only available for an MBITR (Thales military radio) and Icom with the occasional Saber.

This is the PTT: Item # TJS-102, Telephone Jack Switch on Nexus Incorporated

I could probably take an F40GT handmic and mate the two...but I would rather not as that might be above my abilities...
