14 CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT

RTTY OPERATION

Use the REMOTE and DATA connectors to interface with your MCP. If your MCP supports RTTY keying output, connect the output to pin 8 of the REMOTE connector. Connect the demodulation input line of the MCP to

pin 5 of the DATA connector {page 78}. Also, connect the transmission control line of the MCP to pin 3 of the REMOTE terminal. Select “FSK” or ”FSR” when you operate the RTTY mode.

Note: Do not share a single power supply between the transceiver and the RTTY equipment. Keep as wide a separation as possible between the transceiver and the RTTY equipment to reduce noise-pickup by the transceiver.

Power supply for the TS-480

HF/ 50 MHz LINEAR AMPLIFIER

Connect an external transmission power amplifier to the REMOTE connector (1 male, 8-pin mini DIN connector (E57-0405-XX) is supplied). Switch ON the linear amplifier control relay via Menu Nos. 28 (HF) and 29 (50 MHz). Select “2” or “3” if you use the internal relay to control the linear amplifier status.

The TX/ RX relay response time is 10 ms when you have selected CW Full Break-in and 25 ms when you have selected CW Semi Break-in.

Note:

◆The TX/ RX control method differs, depending on external amplifier models. Some amplifiers enter the TX mode when the control terminal is grounded. For those amplifiers, connect pin 2 of the REMOTE connector to the GND terminal of the amplifier and connect pin 4 of the connector to the control terminal of the amplifier.

◆The mini DIN connectors (DATA and REMOTE connectors) look alike. Confirm the number of pins before plugging into the transceiver connectors. The REMOTE connector is an 8-pin mini DIN connector and the DATA connector is a 6-pin mini DIN connector.
