"Quick Start" Radio Connections and Set-Up

Let's go through a simple step-by-step routine in which you'll verify that all cables and con-
nectors are properly installed and that your PK-232 Data Controller is working corectly. The
procedure will help you become familiar with the software commands and operations.
If you have a problem that seems unsolvable after reading this User's Guide thoroughly and
checking all cables and connectors, please refer to the instructions for calling AEA in the
front of this manual.
During these initial checkout procedures, do not connect the PK-232's PTT and AFSK lines
to the transmitter until instructed to do so. Make all other connections as described below.
After all the cables between the PK-232, your radios and your computer have been installed,
apply power to your equipment in this order: radio, computer, PK-232.
