New ham here, with my first radio. I'm trying to use this as both a mobile and a base station.
The 3.5mm audio outputs of the FTM-300 appear to be intended to drive a passive speaker, which I will buy to put in the car.
But at home, I'd like to be able to use headphones, or listen through my PC. I'm fairly certain that I can't plug headphones in directly, nor could I plug the speaker output into a mixer or PC audio input. I have the SCU-58 cable kit which has audio in and out via the (10?) pin jack. But even while using Wires-X, all sound comes out of the radio's built-in speaker.
I have been reading all dozen of the manuals and not getting anywhere.
I would appreciate anyone who may be able to point me in the right direction.
Thank you
