How to Connect a Headset to a Kenwood TK-880

The Kenwood TK-880 land mobile radio included Kenwood's Fleet Sync technology, which really is a patented two-way paging system. Radio stations was created for use by commercial or government fleets to stay in touch with a central dispatcher; for instance, a 911 dispatcher. Regrettably, the system only included a handheld microphone, which may be dangerous to make use of while driving. The TK-880 has been discontinued, but users can still use a headset for increased safety.

Buy a compatible two-wire headset if you like both microphone and speakers to be on the headset. You'll need a headset by having an 8-pin modular plug for the microphone. A typical headphone plug becomes necessary for the speakers. In the event that you only want the headset to incorporate the microphone, you simply require a one-wire microphone headset with the 8-pin modular plug. Insert the headset's microphone to the microphone connector on the low left of the leading side of the TK-880. Insert the headset's headphone or speaker plug to the TK-880's external speaker jack on the low left of the rear of the system.
