OK, the extension speaker would make more sense in the back, I guess. I just wish I had waited for the new version that has it. :)

The first version of the KT8900 had the data port on the back and no headphone jack. The newer ones apparently have both - the headphones must plug in to the back (which seems backwards, but better than not having it).

Hi all. I bought a KT8900 at the beginning of the year, and my FTDI cable showed up about a week ago. Eager to get more than 2 channels programmed in (the programming interface sucks!), I plugged my cable in to the BACK of the radio like all the sites say, and.... Nothing... Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, nothing. Different radio models, the whole works, radio would not respond.
My model has what the manual calls a data terminal jack on the front.
I tried it, the cable fit perfectly, and the radio responded just fine. I don't know if this is true if all KT8900s, but if yours has a front jack, it's a good idea to try it.
