PACKET OPERATION

Connect this transceiver to your personal computer via a
Terminal Node Controller (TNC) {page 6}. You can send
Email to far away stations or obtain a variety of information
via your local bulletin boards, or you may enjoy other
Packet applications. Reference material for starting Packet
operation should be available at any store that handles
Amateur Radio equipment.

The Transmit data input (PKD) sensitivity is 40 mV

P-P

, and

the input impedance is 10 kΩ. This is suitable for a typical
1200 bps TNC.

The Transmit data input (PKD) sensitivity is 2 V

P-P

, and the

input impedance is 10 kΩ. This is suitable for most
9600 bps TNCs. Select 9600 bps if using a TNC with dual
speed capability that only has a 2 V

P-P

output.
