Playing with my BC885...

Is it 6 pin like the Bearcat 880 and 980 ? If yes a Magnum 4 pin to 6 pin adapter will work, but not sure if a mic would have to be connected to achieve what you are trying to do.

 

I’d just gather it up with zip ties to place out of way.

I’ve enjoyed mine. Will be re-installing it into current truck in overhead before long.

Deciding to use two radios has made me laugh at myself. Ain’t no fool like an old fool.

 

One for each antenna, eh?

 

If you had an extra six pin plug, I’m sure you could wire the 2 pins to engage the receiver. The problem is, since this is a brand new model radio, there’s not a schematic out yet to show the mics pinout. I wouldn’t recommend you trying to figure it out on your own, or you might wind up with a very expensive paperweight. The reason is that if it’s like the 980, I believe one of the pins has about 8 Volts DC power to it. If you accidentally short that pin, it would not be good. The best thing would probably be to call a CB shop, and check with their technician to see if they could do that for you.

 

You could also consider purchasing the Uniden wireless mic that works on the 980, then you could just have the holder/ jack part in the mic connection, that might work.

 

One antenna system.
