Is there a pin on the DB25 that will power a horn speaker? Will the speaker on the radio still have audio when this is active?
Thanks,

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

If by the term "horn speaker" you mean an outside, or underhood speaker, I do not think it is wise to try
to run such a unit, directly from the radio. The radio has a remote speaker jack on the rear. it is best to connect a speaker in the cab to this jack, and tap off the plug to feed an amplifier, to feed an outside speaker. This is the way we connected radios through electronic sirens. the sirens have inputs that allow the low impedence of a speaker output to drive the amplified outside speaker. If you are using a non siren type amplifier, you may need to use a coupling transformer, to match the voice coil impedence, to it's input impedence. ~JC
