I notice Icom does that, they put the mic and headphone jacks on the radio
head which is a great idea. I don't use the 706 with the head detached, but
if I ever was to set that up mobile, I think that is a very important
feature, makes mounting a lot easier. I've been guys who have to plug the
mic in to the radio while mobile and it really ends up with not as neat a
setup.
