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).

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.
