I like the Icom 705. It is expensive that is the reason some people wont buy it. But everything is expensive. I’m saving up for the 705 and many of the options. I’m a new ham operator. Ive never used HF. I just have a Yeasu FT2D. It would be nice if you should how you connect up to solar. I saw a different bag that someone made that has a harness and has switches and plugs on it and you slide in the 705 into the unit. It’s nice but it does not have enough storage except a front pocket for a few cables and your mic. I wish the guy would make it with more storage then It would be perfect. Good video.
Hi, thanks. I just used 2.5mm male to female (4 pole) and 3.5mm male to female (3 pole) extension cables 0.5m in length should be fine (either eBay or Amazon). Then taped them together at the Speaker/Mic end. 73 2.5mm 4 pole cable: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08FYYP5GB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 3.5mm 3 pole cable: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00O2X0M3Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was just watching this as I build out my portable kit with the same bag. I'm struggling right now to find the 2.5mm TRRS extension cable for the Mic input. Could you please share where you got your mic extension from. I searched all over for hours and so far have been unable to find one.

Well done! Must watch again to get the specifics.
Nice Layout..They now ship IC-705 with BP-307 for last few months
