Hi:

From some of my web notes ( and I a not able to gurantee the info ) you need to make
a dongle with a wire from Pin 6 to 11, and
this is attached to the Printer Port of your
computer.

Again, I am not able to say for sure, but
that is what I have seen posted.

Also, your radio will have to be one
made piror to 1994, or have at least
more than 2 channels to be able to convert
a P110 to more than 16 channels. I beleive
you have to change the entire radio personality to a GP300...If someone has
already made this mod, they may comment
on the info.

If your radio was made after 1994, Motorola
made the Firmware to be able to support "Only" 2 channels. If you have access
to SMC soldering equipment, one can change the IC to make it work, but its trully a hassle.

I did one just to see how tough of as job it
was.....

TK works, I have only done one P110. Try this link http://www.batlabs.com/tk.html for info on the Math Device/Dongle. I have done several GP300's with only one problem child. I have one GP300 I can't convert no matter what I try. Otherwise I'd give TK a try, it makes things quite easier.
