Can someone tell me the 6-pin accessory plug part number (from Mouser) for a TK-7150/8150? or any other place this can be obtained? Also making sure I jumper pins 5-6 for internal speaker??

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.

Yes pin 5 and 6 are correct for the internal speaker jumper.
This should be the correct item for that radio

Also hereis the service manual which will give the Pinout configuration for the radio

Pins??
I completely forgot to ask about the pins. I have some pins that fit the X30 series' plugs. Are they the same or which Mouser pins are correct? Also thanks KC0WKP for connector info...
I really like the TK-7150 radio; underated and can be bought for really cheap. I got one for $100 delivered from fleabay and a mic was included. All I needed is the connector. I found a remote kit for less than $40 and I already had a remote cable. I think this is going to replace my analog spectra in my vehicle.

I am not sure about the pins I believe they are the same.
As far as them being cheap and underrated, there is a reason for that. The radio has a known flaw and a serious one at that. The radio will randomly put out a long "0" DTMF tone on channel one. There is no warning and the user has no indication of the transmission.
This is just something to note, I do not know if there is a fix out there for this or if there is a newer version that this has been fixed in.

Wrong plugs
Those are not the right plugs. They are too big. I have plenty of them if anyone needs one. Can you verify which ones are the right ones??

Kenwood uses Molex connectors of the 0.062 size. Pins are all the same, shell varies with the number of circuits.

Contact your local Kenwood dealer and tell them you need the 6 pin accy connector with pins.
They are available thru a dealer. +/- $5.00 each

All the socket plugs in the link I gave will fit. The difference is color and whether they have mounting tabs or not.
