USB CAT CABLE

FOR AOR AR8000 SCANNER

Method #1 involves drilling a hole in the radio shell,  where a stereo audio jack will be fitted.

Select either a 2.5MM or a 3.5MM jack paying attention to its overall dimensions

Three locations are potentially suitable

Take your time to measure the exact location, so that the jack won't interfere with the radio PCB's and components inside.

The jack will remain in between the two PCB's.

Method #2 makes use of an FFC / audio adapter

This means that the battery hatch has to be moved away, so that the FFC / audio adapter can be pushed  into the FFC jack inside the radio

A slot may  be engraved in the battery hatch, so it won't be moved away when CAT control takes place.
