UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR

The UDC is located on the side of radio just above the PTT and Monitor Buttons. Various equipment such as the audio accessories can be connected to the radio via the UDC. The programming equipment is also connected to it when the personality is programmed into the radio. The UDC furnishes an excellent first-check-point for initial bench checks without the need to disassemble the radio. Ta- ble 2 lists all pins and their appropriate function. When the radio is turned on it senses the resistance value between UDC pins 9 and 1 and switches the appropriate circuits to provide proper radio-to-accessory operation.

PROGRAMMING

The radio’s personality is programmed using an IBM PC or compatible computer. A full-screen portable PC can be used for field programming. The Programming Manual and Software is TQ-3339 and TQ-4339. TQ-3339 is sup- plied with 5-1/4 inch floppy disks and TQ-4339 is supplied with 3-1/2 inch disks. This software uses a series of screens and windows to guide you through a programming session. See TQ-3339 or TQ-4339 for further programming details. PC Programming Adapter TQ-3370 and Programming Ca- ble TQ-3311 will also be required. These items provide in- terface and connection between the PC and the radio when the personality is transferred from the PC into the radio.

NOTE

After programming or reprogramming the radio, dis- connect the programming cable and turn the radio off and then back on. This action will take the radio out of programming mode and restore normal operation.
