• 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.

10-pin front connector, headset adapter

Hey all - I'm trying to make an adapter to connect a headset to the 10-pin front connector. I've found some information regarding this but not sure it's accurate. My question is surrounding the accessory detection interface pins (1&10).

See attached images - I believe I need to supply 3.3V to pin 1 and ground to pin 10. However, i'm not sure where to get this voltage source from. The pinout would indicate that pin 6 would give me 5V, but it does not. It seems to also be looking for the accessory config. The D+ source (pin 8) gives me 2.9V which i'm not sure is enough - I've tried this and it doesn't work, audio still only comes through the mobile unit speaker.

Has anyone wired a headset (with Mic, PTT, and headset speakers) to the front 10-pin connector?

After much experimentation which seems to contradict the accessory detection configuration, I managed to figure it out. I grounded both pin 1 and 10 to pin 5. This enabled the mono audio output through pin 3. For the speaker- I also used pin 5.
Hope that helps someone!

I have the exact same issue. I cannot get auto on Pin 3. I have the adapter working to key up the mic but I cannot seem to get it to pass audio it is receiving. I tried grounding Pin 1 and they didnt work. Right now I have 1-GND,2-PTT, 3-SPK,5-GND,7-Mic-HI,10-GND. I am scratching my head thinking maybe I have something wrong in programing
