Komunica AV-1KM Kenwood wiring
Hands-free car kit with gooseneck microphone and latching PTT, Kenwood wiring
The AV-1KM is a hands-free kit for using the transceiver in the car hands-free: a gooseneck electret microphone fixed to the sun visor and a latching PTT box that clips onto the gear lever. This version is wired for Kenwood radios.
Product description
The PTT is latching: a short touch switches to transmit and another returns to receive, with the same movement as changing gear. A red LED shows transmission and prevents accidental transmissions. If the radio allows it, the box also provides Up/Down keys; the radio's VOX can also be used.
The unidirectional microphone with adjustable gain is powered from the radio's microphone socket and requires no soldering. The basic kit includes the cable with modular (RJ) connector; radios with a round 8-pin connector need an additional adapter cable.
Key features
Gooseneck mic on the sun visor.
One touch to transmit.

Installation
The microphone mounts under the sun visor bolt: make sure it is securely fixed, the cable is routed safely and it does not obstruct your view. Obey the highway code.
