• 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.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums here, and I have a TK380 here that is not working properly. Whenever I transmit the radio from the PTT key on the side everything works fine, but when I add a speaker mic and try to transmit, my audio is not passing through and being transmitted, I took it apart and tried looking at it but cant seem to place my finger on the issue. Maybe there is a diode somewhere or a fuse thats blown? I dont know, please let me know your suggestions if you ran into this same issue.

Have you tried a different speaker mic yet? Biggest issue we've seen is that the cord/connectors on the speaker mics take a lot of abuse. They usually go bad and need to be replaced.

Yes, I have tried multiple speaker mics and they do not work on this radio but work on others.

Anything in the software to check mark to allow or not allow an external spkr/mic?
