15 CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT

MCP AND TNC

Use the ACC 2 connector to connect the input/output lines from a Terminal Node Controller (TNC) for Packet operation, a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) for operation on Packet, PacTOR, AMTOR, G-TORTM, or FAX, or from a Clover interface. Also use the ACC 2 connector to connect SSTV and phone patch equipment.

Connect the TNC or MCP to the ACC 2 connector using a cable equipped with a 13-pin DIN plug.

Connecting the TNC or MCP to a personal computer or dumb terminal requires an RS-232C cable.

Note:

Do not share a single power supply between the transceiver and the TNC or MCP. Keep as wide a separation as possible between the transceiver and the computer as practical to reduce noise-pickup by the transceiver.

The output voltage of Pin No. 6 (SMET) is not 0 V even when no signal is present. In addition, the output voltage differs between FM (approx. 2.8 ~ 3.8 V) and other modes (approx. 0.5 ~ 3.8 V). When connecting this pin to peripheral equipment such as a personal computer, the input impedance of that equipment must be higher than 1 M. If you connect to equipment having lower impedance, the S-meter will not give accurate readings.

Pin No.

ANO

AF output from receiver

 

 

Connect to TNC or MCP receive data pin for digital operation.

 

 

AF output level is independent of AF control setting.

 

 

AF output level can be changed via Menu No. 34.

 

 

Output impedance: 4.7 k

PSQ

Squelch control

 

 

Connect to TNC or MCP squelch control pin for digital operation.

 

 

Prevents the TNC from transmitting while the receiver squelch is open.

 

 

Squelch open: Low impedance

 

 

Squelch closed: High impedance
