Pin Description
1
--
Protective Ground
Connects to ground (negative supply potential) on the
radio's PC board and chassis.
2
IN
TXD—Transmitted Data
Accepts TX data from the connected device.
3
OUT
RXD—Received Data
Supplies received data to the connected device.
4
IN
RTS—Request-to-Send Input
5
OUT
CTS—Clear-to-Send Output
Goes "high" after the programmed CTS delay time has
elapsed (DCE), or keys an attached radio when RF data
arrives (CTS KEY).
6
OUT
DSR—Data Set Ready
Provides a +6 Vdc DSR signal through a 2.5 kΩ resistor.
7
--
Signal Ground
Connects to ground (negative supply potential) at the
radio's PC board.
8
OUT
DCD—Data Carrier Detect
A "high" indicates hopping synchronization.
9
--
Unused.
10
OUT
RUS—Receiver Unsquelched Sensor
Provides +8 Vdc through a 1 kΩ resistor whenever the
receiver squelch is open, and drops to less than 1 Vdc
when the squelch is closed.
11
--
Unused.
12
IN
Sleep Mode
A ground on this pin turns off most circuits in the radio,
including transmit, receive, modem and diagnostic
functions. This allows for greatly reduced power
consumption, yet preserves the radio's ability to be
quickly brought on line. See Section 4.6, Using the
Radio's Sleep Mode (beginning on Page 25) for details.
