 The radios are usually programmed through the front RJ45 connector, using a so-called RIB (Radio Interface Box).
 Most cables purchased online are known as RIB-less, and are essentially USB - TTL devices such as the FT232x with a diode inline between TX / RX.
+It also possible to program these radios directly using the Raspberry Pi GPIO Serial pins, as the levels output are acceptable to the radio.
+Be sure to map the serial port correctly,
 See below for a Homebrew Motorola RIBless cable schematic:
