Good Evening,
I am new to RR. This is actually my first post.
I have a Baofeng UV-82 that I would like to connect to an external speaker or my PC sound card. I obtained a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter cable and plugged one end into the speaker connection on the IV-82 and the other into my PC microphone input. I do not get any sound other than the "Channel Mode" message during power on. However, that is not audible, it seems really high pitched or something. You cant make it out at all.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do you actually need something from the microphone jack on the radio to make the speaker work?
Thanks,
Mike
