So, im trying to connect the kenwood mic to the REAR of the control head. That 12 pin "ACC" connector. Reason im doing this is since in my vehicles the radio is mounted up above the driver I dont want a mic cable dangling down.
Previously i have done this by cutting and extending the stock mic cable just after the propertiary tk-790 connector and extended it down. Sloppy...i want to do it so nothing it plugged in in the front this time.
So, here's what I got.
12 pin ACC connector on the rear of the control head:
Pin 6 and pin 3 go to the PTT on the mic.
Pin 4 and 5 go to the MIC on the mic.
Program aux input 1 to activate the PTT.
The PTT works fine, i press the mic and it transmits...but there is nothing transmitted...like the mic isnt hooked up.
FYI, the "Mute Mic with External PTT" is NOT checked.
Am I missing something here?
