I mounted my Midland 75-822 radio and my Sena sr10 inside my saddle bags. I ran the ptt to my handlebars. Mounted a 12v plug in the bags also. I use a 4’ fire stick non ground plane. Works fine.

Again enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for making - and sharing- the mistakes so we don’t have to. Maybe high time to get a tool girl in for good luck! Enjoy the cider, you’ve earned it- once again.

I have the Midland 75-822 CB Radio on my Motorcycle. Could not find the SENA SR10 device for sale (by SENA). So, instead utilized a Wireless Bluetooth (BT) Adapter (HB-6A) and Wireless Remote PTT (Key) (HB-6B) units which are battery powered and USB rechargeable. $30 for the pair, plus $15 to $20 for (10 - 15 day) shipping. The Remote PTT is nice since no wiring is required. Velcro strapped (provided) to left handlebar grip; thumb activated. Red light activates when PTT active. Paired the BT Adapter with the Remote PTT unit. Then, paired the BT Adapter with my SENA 20S EVO Helmet Headset. Works Great! Overcome the mechanical (physical) constraint (clearance issues) of mating the HB-6A Device directly to my version of Midland CB Radio, by using (making) a short straight through extension cable. There are off the shelf 2-pin molded extension cables for purchase, but a little expensive to me. Other Midland Portable/Handheld Radio models would allow for direct connection of the 2-pin BT Adapter. The BT Adapter HB-6A-I model/version purchased is for ICOM (I1 & I2) Radios. Same 2-pin 2.5mm (2-pole TS) Microphone/PTT & 3.5mm (2-pole TS) Speaker interface as the Midland CB Radio connecters. Can pair BT Adapter to SENA Headset as a second mobile phone or as GPS. Can provide (via separate cable) USB +5Vdc power to the BT Adapter while in operation and installed on the Motorcycle. Although, the 7 to 9 hours of battery life is adequate for my daily rides. BT Adapter has a 400mAh battery life. The Remote PTT unit battery life is identified as 3-months. The HB-6A-I BT Adapter 2-pin 2.5mm to 3.5mm Center-to-Center pin spacing is 10mm. Other BT Adapter models are available for other Radios with K-Type [six signals total, 3 poles per each jack] (11mm) and M-Type [4 signals total, 2 poles per each jack] (8mm) Center-to-Center pin spacing. The marking on the BT Adapter box received for the ICOM HB-6A-I unit is further identified as 'Model TC-IM V8'. Consider adding these identification markings as a comment as special additional instructions when ordering online. The ICOM HB-6A-I BT Adapter has 4 signals total, 2 poles per each of the two jacks/plugs.

In regards to the short extension cable, located an off-the-shelf cable. ICOM Right Angle Adapter Cable, 2-Pin Male to 2-Pin Female. Part Number OPC2144. 9-Inches overall length. Flexible. Right Angle end at Radio 2-pin Male end. Opposite end is straight 2-pin Female. The cable exits the Radio allowing maximum clearance for the Squelch & Volume knobs. This OPC2144 Extension Adapter cable supports 3 signals per each connector, for a total of 6 signals. The Midland 75-822 2.5mm Microphone connector supports a 2-pole TS (pin-1 MIC/PTT, pin-2 Ground) or a 3-pole TRS (pin-1 MIC/PTT, pin-2 no connect, pin-3 Ground) and the 3.5mm Speaker connector supports a 2-pole TS (pin-1 Speaker, pin-2 Ground), but also accepts a 3-pole TRS (pin-1 Speaker, pins 2 & 3 Ground).

Awesome, Thank You. I'll do some more research, really appreciate your help. Cheers Andy

Get those cheap but amazing BAOFENG radios for $25 to $50 american dollars each. Those are compatibles with the KENWOOD cable. I did my setup on a SuperTenere 1200 with a full size Kenwood NX800 UHF 60W. Memory bank 1 was programmed with GSMR channels. Universal cable to a RJ45 jack for input/output mic/audio.+ external PTT + power supply for the SR10.

Andy Moto Trekkin do a kit including the GME 6160

Hi Andy. This is Wally in Oz .Your sr10 needs to be on the outside of the metal box. The metal box will be like a Faraday cage and stop the sr10 linking with the Bluetooth helmet through the metal box . The aerial needs to be on a ground independent base with a 3db stainless whip to give you maximum coverage on the back left-hand side of the metal box elevated up 75cm aluminium tube to clear the rides head .I hope this may be a help.

I was about to suggest the same thing.. Faraday cage will be your worst nightmare going wireless.. In order to the SR10 perform 100%, move it to the external bottom of the case. It is waterproof and will be protected from any impact...

this is a 3 ciders video 2 ciders in time for one more

That's really odd, I emailed SENA Australia & they told me they had no cable that would work with the GME radios? I'll email Prestige & get some feedback from them - need to be 100% confident it'll work as I dont want to damage any more radios! Really appreciate your help. Thank you again. Andy

@@AndyMechanic No problems. Unfortunately the list they show most of the UHF models are discontinued or no longer available. I had the same issue when looking for a cable for my Garmin rino 650 which has a UHF radio inbuilt. In the end a single pin cable that was available for another model radio was suitable for it and now shows this on the site. They may not show the UHF model but in the description it does say it is suitable for GME radios. Hope this helps. Good luck. There are also bluetooth headset adaptors that connect directly to the radio now and use a bluetooth PTT button. Not sure if they are suitable for the GME though. Still researching this. Will makes things easier and cleaner without all the cables and components.
