• 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.

Does anyone know how to activate the audio output pad on the bottom of the G5. Must be a single or combination of V+ and/or grounding of the other pad(s) to get the output to switch from the internal speaker to the external. Yes I know I could purchase the speaker dock. But I would like to 3D print a simple audio out adapter so I can get the audio routing through my mixer.

Thanks Joe

I've found that there's audio output there without doing anything, but it's very low level - around microphone level. I could hear it by feeding into the microphone input on a PC sound card, but there are loud pops when it turns on and off. Maybe there's some amplification when the "Charger & Programmer Detect" pin is activated, but I kinda doubt it. I haven't been brave enough to try grounding or feeding power to that pin yet ;)
