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
