Default Anyone Make a 8-pin Mike Plug to 8-pin Modular Jack?

Thanks Steve. I made an adapter today using Radio Shack RJ45
connectors and 8-pin mike plug with a short piece of CAT5 cable. I
used an RJ45 coupler (Home Depot) to hook the two RJ45's together.
Works like a champ. Now my Icom HM-118 DTMF mike works with my Icom
IC-746 when I need a PL tone on the repeater.

Note that for the RJ45 female, this looks like nothing more than an RJ45

CAUTION !! There are at lease TWO types of RJ 45 F-F adapters - "Straight
through" and "reverse". With proper wiring either can be used.
The "straight through" actually reverses the connections when traced
directly from in to out - it is (two negatives make a positive sort of
thing).
