<div dir="auto"><div>Dennis,</div><div dir="auto"><br><div dir="auto">Fell free to contact me off list if you like.</div><div dir="auto">I am a retired Deputy Sheriff and I noticed when I got my UV-5R that the mic and earphone ports looked identical to my duty radio which was a Kenwood. That opened up a range of possible accessories most of which I found on eBay. Even programming cables. I never had to make anything. Always cheap and quick delivery.</div><div dir="auto"><br>I hope this helps.</div><div dir="auto"><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Thanks,<br>David, <br><a href="mailto:KD7UCH@arrl.net">KD7UCH@arrl.net</a></div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Mar 20, 2018, 09:36 Dennis Wage <<a href="mailto:dwage@dwage.com">dwage@dwage.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Hello,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">If this is too off topic, scold me and I'll never do it again.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">I have a UV-5R.

In addition, the tip only carries audio and the ring is TX data. When the radio is scanning there is a low frequency thump in time with the scan that comes out the data port ring.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">If I plug a 2.5mm TS the data port ring will short to the sleeve.
