Usually, you will make your own cable. Look up the pin out for your radio’s connectors. Most mobiles have a TNC connector on the back, a mini DIN that looks a lot like a PS/2 connector.
For radios without a TNC connector, you have to be creative. It usually involves an interface box like a RigBlaster to connect to the microphone and speaker jacks.
