3 Preparations

3-1 Configuration of the receiver

The SDU5600 is primarily designed to operate with the receiver at 9600bps. The companion
receiver's baud rate has to be configured to the same rate. Some type of receivers may require
additional modifications or interface, etc, which are explained as follows:-
AR5000 series: Configure the selection of external IF output and baud rate as per the following
table (refer to pages 29 & 30 sections 6-18 & 6-19 of AR5000 English language operating manual):
External IF output
RS232C
After the configurations have been completed place
the receiver in VFO mode.
AR3000A: The AR3000A has to be modified by
AOR in order to produce a 10.7MHz IF output for
use with the SDU5600. The remote switch on the
rear panel has to be set to ON position, and baud
rate needs to be 4800bps (receiver's default).
A screened RS232 connecting lead configured for
9-25 pin with male-pins at both ends must be used.
AR8200MK3: Configure the baud rate to 9600bps
by referring to pages 109 & 110 section 14-6 of the
AR8200 English language operating manual. Place
the receiver in VFO mode. For connection to the
SDU5600 the 8200PC interface lead is required
along with a gender changer. The AR8200MK3 has
to be modified by AOR to produce a 10.7MHz IF
output.
AR8600MK2: Configure the baud
rate to 9600bps by referring to page
108 section 14-5 of AR8600 English
language operating manual. Place
the receiver in VFO mode. For
connection to the SDU5600 the
supplied connecting leads have to be
used. To enable IF output in ALL
MODES (rather than just WFM), refer
to page 18 for further information on
the modifications required.

3-2 Start-up

ALWAYS switch the receiver on before the SDU5600 and make any necessary adjustment of
communication speed and IF output (assuming the relevant modifications have been carried out and
connecting leads are in place as appropriate). Then switch on the SDU5600 by depressing the
POWER switch on the lower left of the front panel. The SDU5600 will power up, while the operating
system powers up you may notice horizontal lines on the LCD, this is normal. The SDU5600 will
briefly display the model number and firmware version called the 'opening message' before the
standard display. The SDU5600 is ready for operation.
