e. The “M” Lead option becomes critical in
matching transmit delay to equipment key-up time. Each of the four channels has a dedicated
16 position adjusting switch (Figure H). Included on the back of the board is a label (Figure I)
showing the switch adjustment position to time delay correlation (Figure J). The PTT Dry
Contact is a solid state non-polarized Normally Open (NO) relay. Specification maximum values
are 100VDC max. Open; 150mA current and 8Ωmax resistance Closed.

The “E” Lead option becomes critical in LMR situations where background
noise can be interpreted as an analog signal. Thus, having Rx disabled unless the VG-400
receives a viable switch signal avoids noise. Pair 3 is designated as “E” Lead Rx with Pin 3 as
Ground and Pin 6 as logic level +3.3VDC. Pulling or “Pinning Up” Pin 3 to Pin 6 is what enables
Rx to activate. The DS-1400 uses jumper JP1 (Figure J) to globally enable or disable this
feature.
