External speaker for P7100ip?
I know this thread is very old, but maybe someone can help.
I'm trying to get a headphone jack (or just speaker +- out at this point) on a Macom p7100IP radio. I'm doing this because I want to connect the radio to my computer, to provide a feed to this site.
I just want to basically solder on a female 1/8" mono jack. I ordered this adapter, which I thought was correct, but it was not.

This came with what is marked as a headphone jack, but is a 6 pin connector of some type. I tested the pins with my meter against the connector pogo pins and was able to connect. I tried touching the leads from a small speaker to all of those pins while the adapter was connected but I couldn't get anything to work. And, the internal speaker never shut off. Maybe something has to be grounded to tell the internal speaker that an external speaker is connected.
At this point, I'm just considering opening it up, unsoldering the speaker wires and running them to the outside. I could put in a small switch too.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
