When you ordered the 8 track with either the AM or AM/FM mono radios the U80 feature was included with the 8 track. What most people don't realize is that the 8 track and the radios are two completely separate systems. You can't run both of them at the same time. there is a switch in the 8 track unit that kills power to the radio when a tape is inserted. That same switch also connected and disonnected the right rear speaker (belonging to the 8 track) to the output of the U80 fader on the radio. The mono radios then used the dash speaker and the right rear speaker just like if they had ordered the U80 by itself.
The AM/FM Multiplex radio shared all 4 speakers with the 8 track and all four speakers were switched back and forth by that switch in the 8 track. The multiplex 8 track is a completely different part number than the base 8 track though, as it has an extras wiring harness on it that brings the output of the multiplex unit into the 8 track player.
