Pacific Crest PDL UHF Low Power Base Transmitter 2W
The RTK base configuration using a Pacific Crest 2-watt base transmitter requires
a Y-cable. The receiver end of the PDL radio data/power cable can connect to
either serial port A or serial port B of the Z-Max but port B is recommended.
At the radio end of the PDL data/power cable is a 5-pin right angle Lemo
connector. The data/power connector on the radio is located under the LED
display of the radio. This connection serves as both the power connector and the
data cable. Connect the radio to the receiver by connecting the 5-pin end of the
cable into the radio and the 7-pin end of the cable to serial port B as shown in
Figure 3.12. A battery with a capacity greater than 10 Ah is recommended. The
