Hello,
This is my first post here in a while but I have been a member for some time. I am not very smart with radios but I need a little help. I bought a used Kenwood TK-780 with the KCT-19 wiring kit already installed in the radio. I want to integrate it in with some David Clark 3800 series headsets I have. To do this, David Clark makes a interface cord - C3821 is the number. One end has a plug and the other has open wires.
The KCT-19 has 15 female pins on the connector. I see Molex makes a male connector for it that I can use. My problem is I do not know what wires I am suppose to connect. I have the information for what each pin is for the radio and for the interface cord, but I still don't know what ones need to go together.
Here is what I found for the pin outs:
KCT-19
1 - RXD (Smarttrunk) or DTC (MDT)
2 - Mic Ground
3 - Ignition Sense
4 - RX Discriminator Output
5 - External Mic Input (ME)
6 - Ground
7 - Switch B+
8 - External PTT
9 - Data Module Input
10 - Horn Alert Output
11 - Squelch Detect (MDT)
12 - Speaker Audio
13 - Speaker Mute Input
14 - Mic Mute Input
15 - Emergency Input or TX sense output
David Clark Interface Cord:
Green - Audio High
Black - Audio Low
Red - MIC High
White - MIC Low
Yellow - PTT High
Blue - PTT Low
All I want is to be able to broadcast over the headsets when I push the PTT button. I wouldn't mind having an external speaker that worked with it when I don't have the headsets on, but if that is not possible then I don't mind. Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks,
Stu
