• 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.

Either I'm just not seeing the external speaker plug, or the radio wasn't ordered with that option so I have two questions. They were ordered before I was involved with the radio equipment.

1) Where should the plug be located if there is one
2) If it wasn't ordered with that option, is it possible to add it without send it back to a dealer or Kenwood?

I've just taken over the programming of our radio's, so I'm really looking over this forum and like all the information so far.

Thanks in advance!

It connects to the molex on the body of the radio. If you are the comm tech, look through the service and installation manuals. They are a great help.

I'm not going to consider myself the 'comm tech' because I just kind of got it given to me.
I'm looking at the manuals online (the original's are gone), but I cannot see any of them that show this on the remote head or the main unit. I'll continue looking though...

Either one will be fine, I found the plug behind the rubber sealed cover on the back of the head.
Where do I go about getting the connector to plug the speaker into this, or do I just have to make one?
If that's the case, can I order the pins online?
