Fully Connected Rover Radio

A fully connected radio, Figure 3.24, will have two cable connections, regardless of
which type of radio used. In all cases, both connections are mandatory.

Figure 3.24 Pacific Crest Rover Radio with all Cable Connections

1. Radio communication/power cable plugged into the RS232 / power port. This
port is not labeled on the Pacific Crest PDL radio and labeled "Serial" on the
SSRadio. This cable connects the radio to the Z-Xtreme receiver, and in the
case of the Pacific Crest, also connects the radio to an external power source.
2. Radio antenna cable plugged into the antenna port. On the SSRadio, this port
is labeled ANT. This cable connects the radio to the radio antenna. On the
Pacific Crest PDL radio, the antenna is mounted directly on the radio.
