Hi Charlie, The typical rear terminal connections allow a local mic for base station operation and probably some type of remote (dc loop current) control. You'd need a standard DC remote to use the line terminals. If you get a standard Motohead (motorola) desk mic, the color code is as

The guys are right on the G-7 but what are you feeding it with? What are your jumpers made with? Coax such as Belden 9913 and Times LMR 400 type coaxes will do the same thing. Your jumpers should be made from things like Belden RG-214/u, Andrews 1/25 super flex or Andrews 1/2 super flex are always
