gday mate, yes the box is ticked , i have it all basicly working now except i dont have the RX audio passing via a cheap ebay repeater cable or via the RICK.. is their a internal mod or something i am missing in the software to enable the tx radio to accept the rx audio in via pin 5 on the the 16pin acc? should i re route the rx audio pin from the rx radio to pin 2 on the tx radio instead of 5 where it works fine with gm300s?? the rx radio is passing the rx audio out because with the cheap ebay cable i can direct it straight in to ptt , ground and mic audio on the mic connector and it works.. but as i dont want to mod the rick to plug in to the front mic socket id like to find out how to make this work properly? cheers to all and merry christmas.

To activate pin 5 (Flat Tx Audio) set PTT pin 3 to "Voice & Data PTT" or "Data PTT" in CPS.
RICK also need set up: S2-5 - ON, S2-6 - OFF.

Ignition sense is on pin 10, and it's a programmable option in the CPS, in the accessory configuration page. It's called "ignition sense type", and you want it set for 'on/off & ignition'.
