I did a search and didn't find anything relative.

I finally graduated from Astro Spectra's to a sweet XTL-5000, it came as a rear mount radio. I am looking at the flex behind the double D-25 connectors and it looks like I could just plug it into the W-4 head it came with. I don't want to fry it and just want top be able to use it as a desk top radio. Possible?

Another question is I have the W-3 rear mount front panel and W-3 head. Will that plug in directly if I chose to make it a W-3?
