Abstract

AN ADAPTER FOR USE IN A TWO-WAY RADIO WHEREIN THE ANTENNA OF THE RADIO IS REMOVABLE FROM THE HOUSING OF THE RADIO. A WELL EXTENDS FROM THE POINT OF THE ANTENNA CONNECTION TO WITHIN THE HOUSING AND INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCHES RELATING TO THE RADIO CIRCUITRY. AN ELONGATED PLUG IS ROTATABLY INSERTABLE INTO THE WELL AND, UPON INSERTION, THE PLUG IS OF A DIMENSION SO AS TO BEAR AGAINST AND OPEN THE NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCHES WITHIN THE WELL. A PLURALITY OF CONTACTS MOUNTED ALONG THE PLUG ARE LOCATED SO AS TO MATE WITH ASSOCIATED TERMINALS OF THE NOW OPEN SWITCHES WHEN THE PLUG IS ROTATED WITHIN THE HOUSING. A CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE OUTER END OF THE PLUG AND HAS A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL LEADS CONNECTED TO THE VARIOUS CONTACTS ON THE PLUG. THE CABLE EXTENDS OUTWARDLY FROM THE RADIO HOUSING AND, THEREFORE, PROVIDES A MEANS FOR CONNECTING THE CONTROL OF THE RADIO TO SOME REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE.
