Nope. on the New ES44 motors the camera is mounted inside the cab, same as NS(the ones Ft worth got the idea from) mounts theres. The microphone is mounted outside. And i must say well hidden..I have searched two diffrent ES44 motors and have not found it yet. I am begining to think it is inside the cover for the radio/ETD antenae..And there is microwave radiation under there so i wont be lifting the cover anytime soon...Have to wait and see...
