Base Station Installation - Yaesu FT-2600M Operating Manual

The FT-2600M is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FT-
2600M is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the information
to follow as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the FT-2600M from an AC line requires a power source capable of providing
at least 10 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1023A, FP-1025A, and FP-1030A
AC Power Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these requirements.
Other well-regulated power supplies may be used, as well, if they meet the above voltage
and current specifications.
Use the DC power cable supplied with your transceiver for making power connections to the
power supply. Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) power supply termi-
nal, and connect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (-) power supply terminal.
Packet Radio Terminal Node Controller (TNC)
The FT-2600M provides a convenient rear-panel DATA jack for easy connections to your
TNC. This connector is a standard Dsub 9-pin connector, widely available from electron-
ics parts suppliers.
The FT-2600M's DATA jack connections are optimized for the data transmission and recep-
tion speed in use. In accordance with industry standards, the signal levels, impedances, and
bandwidths are significantly different on 9600 bps as opposed to 1200 bps. If your TNC does
not provide multiple lines to accommodate such optimization, you may still be able to utilize
your TNC, if it is designed for multiple-radio use, by connecting the TNC "Radio 1" port to
the 1200 bps lines on the FT-2600M, and the "Radio 2" port to the 9600 bps lines.
