thanks for the information
I will try it today.
anyone know how to connect this radio to a siren system speaker & external speaker inside the vehicle . For unknown reasons, the rescue squad installed a speaker box for all the radios above the console.
they want all the radios connected to this speaker box.

The option button can be programmed to switch from inside speaker to outside speaker(which connects at the rear 15 pn connection)
no way to have both speakers on at the same time without an internal modification.
