In order to do such a thing, you will need to put two magnets of equal size on the radio, so the head will MATE with them... the space between the head and connector is just shy more then a 1/4 inch, so you will need two magnets that will set the control head out and allow the cable to transverse in the direction you need it to... I would have preferred a REAR connector, but since you have the DATA DIN plug and the 1/3" DV DATA plug up there too, guess the design will be what it is.....

Jeff: Will this allow the 2820 control head to fit on the front of the radio *and* allow use of the GPS antenna? Greg -----Original Message----- Hey All, I just found a place in San Jose, Ca. (A Mom/Pop) type place that custom makes Cables with Adapters. I am in need of a MCX Adapter from 90deg to Straight for the IC-2820, and they have Custom Lengths and make to order, NO MINIMUMS..
