- voltagex_ 12y agoI didn't realise how common it was to multi-purpose these jacks until recently. Nexus 4 and 5 have their UART via the headphone jack - you need a TRRS headphone cable with the correct resistor wired up to one of the pins. Kenwood even came up with a standard for it: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Technical.php#progcable http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Technical.php#progcable A popular series of VHF/UHF
