POWER RECEPTACLE [DC13.8V] (pgs. 15, 16)
Accepts 13.8 V DC ±15% with the supplied DC power
cable.

• Current of 12 A or greater is required.

DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power
source when operating in a vehicle. The plug may cause
voltage drops and ignition noise may be superimposed
onto transmit or receive audio.

u

ANTENNA CONNECTOR [ANT]
Connects a 50

antenna with a PL-259 connector and a

50

coaxial cable.

DATA JACK PIN ASSIGNMENTS

q

DATA IN
Input terminal for data transmit. See p. 70 for details on
how to toggle data speed between 1200 and 9600 bps.

w

GND
Common ground for DATA IN, DATA OUT and AF OUT.

e

PTT P
PTT terminal for packet operation only. Connect ground to
transmit data.

r

DATA OUT
Data out terminal for 9600 bps operation only.

t

AF OUT
Data out terminal for 1200 bps operation only.

y

P SQL (squelch out)
Becomes high (+5V) when the transceiver receives a sig-
nal which opens the squelch.

• To avoid unnecessary TNC transmission, connect squelch to the

TNC to inhibit transmission when receiving signals.

• Keep audio output at a normal level, otherwise a “P SQL” signal

will not be output.

ANTENNA INFORMATION
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-
tance, along with output power and sensitivity. The trans-
ceiver accepts a 50

antenna and less than 1.5 : 1 of

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). High SWR values
not only may damage the transceiver but also lead to TVI or
BCI problems.
