2 - IMPORTANT WARNINGS

ALWAYS check the polarity of the 13.8 V power s pply.

When changing Radio #1, ALWAYS be s re the proper microphone for the

radio is connected to the MK2R RJ45 MIC jack BEFORE connecting the DB37

RADIO cable.

If dissimilar radios are attached to MK2R or MK2R+, NEVER connect the

microphone of the Radio #2 to the RJ45 microphone jack on the rear panel.

If yo r radio s pports firmware pload, always perform any pload from

an RS-232 (COM) port on the comp ter - NOT thro gh MK2R.

keying. Check the manual of your amplifier to be sure the

power requirements do not exceed the transistor rating. If

the requirements exceed transistor rating set the jumper to

the RE position - this position connects the relay contact to

the output jack. Maximum rating for the relay is: 125VAC/2A or 60VDC/2A.

TIP: If yo are not s re abo t the keying voltage of yo r amp or LNA, se the RE position.

Connector: RCA, active when grounded.

TI – Signal SHELL – Ground

(26) – PAPTT1

TT output for ower Amplifier for RADIO1.

Output (Solid State or RElay contact) depends on RE/SS jumper position.

Connector: RCA, when active goes to ground.

TI – Signal SHELL – Ground

If the jumper is in the SS position, the switching transistor (open collector) is connected to the

A TT1 jack. The transistor can switch up to 45V/0.8A. This position is appropriate for

modern ower Amplifiers with electronic keying. Check the manual of your amplifier to be

sure the power requirements do not exceed the transistor rating. If the requirements exceed

transistor rating set the jumper to the RE position - this position connects the relay contact to

the output jack. Maximum rating for the relay is: 125VAC/2A or 60VDC/2A.

(27) – LNA1

Sequenced keying (bypass) for Low Noise Amplifier or receive antenna control on RADIO1.

Output (Solid State or RElay contact) depends on RE/SS jumper position.

Connector: RCA, when active goes to ground.

TI – Signal SHELL – Ground

The output circuit is the same as shown for A TT2.

(28) – DC 12V
