Jim,
You have to follow the wiring as shown on the SCHEMATIC
included with the radio. The DIN plug pinout is not correct as shown
on the photo. You also need to connect pins 3 and 8 on the DIN
plug to enable transmit when you insert the plug. There is no
software switch needed. Your problems are a result of an error in
the D manual.
