If you want to use the COS/COR output from your GM300 the COS/COR on pin 8 is (active low). Many interfaces need a COS/COR input that is (active high) at 2 to 5vdc. You can make up a circuit to convert the output from pin 8 or take a COS/COR output from inside the radio that will give you a (active high) output. You will need to access the logic board on the underside of the radio. Remove the front of radio and the bottom cover and lift off the RF shield. See photo below.
If you use thin wire you will be able to feed this out the edge of the 16 way connector. I tied a knot round the connector on the board to stop it being pulled off the board. Take care not to short this COS/COR out because it will damage the radio.
