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.
Cheers
