Pretty much all you need is the wiring for the radio mic jack. You only 
should have 4 wires coming form the mic, and the one rapped up in the shield 
is audio, and if you have a meter that can tell you if you have a short or 
not with a tone or something, that will tell you which of the other 2 is the 
PTT and receive, and you don't need the receive so some short that to the 
audio though I don't know why, I just cut it back out of the way and worry 
about the other 3 wires. I'm not sure on the wiring for that radio, I may 
have it in my list of mic pin outs, I'll look in the morning. I'm in the 
process of talking my dog in to giving me room in my bed right now.
