2.1. Power supply GW-1000 supports 9-15VDC. Current drain <0.8A 2.2. Radio connection port Pin 1. AF OUT, GW-1000 audio output to radio input Pin 2. GND, ground Pin 3. PTT, radio PTT Pin 5. AF IN, GW-1000 audio input from radio output For normal Kenwood and generic handheld radio which has a 3.5mm &... - Page 5 1, pin 2, pin 3, pin 5. For Yaesu handheld radio, there is no PTT wire. So user must open the GW-1000, locate the JP3 2-pin jumper which is beside the mini-din 6 socket. Put a jumper cap on it. Then GW-1000 could properly drive Yaesu handheld radio to transmit.
- Page 6 Due to voltage decrease, please connect external +5VDC to the WX-01 if it is put more than 3 meters away from GW-1000. 2.4.4. For LCD connection Refer to the wiring diagram at the back of GW-1000 LCD. The LCD is supplied separately.
