MM,,Yeah,Just lookingfor a thumbsup or down regarding the diagram.

you almost got it...

The capacitor keeps external D.C. out of the radio circuitry and the resister reduces the line level audio to manageable levels.
I used 24 gauge wire, but you can go smaller if you like.

Gotcha!
Thank You for the clarification..
Cap,Resistor,Jack..
Very helpful
Again,Thanks!

I tapped my BCT-15 about 1.5 years ago now and I used the same parts and layout. To make sure it would last, I used one of those mini thru-hole circuit boards that R/S sells in a small box. I think you get like 5 or 6 of these boards. This way I could do "right" the first time and also make sure there was no stress on any of the wires or components.

I had to drill a hole into the back of the BCT-15 case but it looks very clean and works 100% great -- with Unitrunker or DSDPlus.

HAHA..Yes,Today I picked up the PCB with the predrilled grid from RS..Same thoughts..I did a couple radios like that years back and it was easier to manage,,some 2 sided 3M tape to hold it against the casing..Lasted very well...Nice and clean too!

Great minds thinkn alike!

Thanks for the feedback,Greatly apreciated..
