The control head uses an RJ45 cable/connector to the main body. At
the other end of the radio itself is a Molex (I think that's what
it's called) connector which in turn plugs into a cable going to
either a 12VDC connection a.k.a. battery or a base power
supply. Believe the control head activates a relay which turns on
the radio. Hope this helps.--Matt, N1IBB.
