OK, That radio has the same DB9 wiring as the Alinco's. It looks like it
should be COSFROM=usbinvert. The COS line goes low on carrier or PL. This
is an open collector output so you will not see any voltage change unless
it is connected to the DMK-URI which has a pullup for COS. Here is how it
should be wired -
DMK-URI DB25 Male Alinco DB9 male
COS 8 1
RX Audio 21 4
GND 19,20 5
PTT 1 7
TX Audio 22 9
