I'd like to apologize but I don't know where else to turn. I am much more familiar with Motorola, Icom and Relm equipment which is why my brother turned to me when he needed his radios programmed. He has 3 of the original Klein Blackbox UHF Tier 1 (450-470 MHz) portables, as opposed to the Blackbox+ versions. I have the software but not the programming cable. I thought I'd be able to use the Motorola CP series RIB setup, but it doesn't seem to work. Looking on www.blackboxradios.com the programming cable appears to use both the 2.5 mm and 3.5mm pin to program. I have a Motorola lapel speaker/mic with a blown speaker so I do have a dual pin setup.
I just need to know what the serial 9 pin "D" pinout to dual pin speaker/mic is in order to fabricate this cable.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Klein Blackbox Programming Cable Pinout
I believe you would be best served by contacting Blackbox directly and just buying a programming cable from them. There is virtually no mention or coverage of this brand on this Board, but there's always a chance that someone may be able to help, a remote chance but still a chance.
One of the best ways to screw up a programmable radio is to use an incorrect or homemade cable.
