<strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> OPERATING MANUAL<br />
RADIO INSTALLATION<br />
Figure 3-1 Receive audio connection to the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong>.<br />
If you are using an HF transceiver or Short-Wave receiver you should<br />
consult Chapter 10 for information on the Signal Identification mode.<br />
Chapters 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 talk specifically about some of the modes<br />
you may encounter on the HF and Short-Wave bands.<br />
If you are connecting to a VHF scanner or VHF/UHF transceiver you<br />
should look over Chapter 4 on Packet operation.<br />
3.3 Transmit and Receive Radio Connections<br />
To connect your <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> to a HF or VHF TRANSCEIVER you will need access<br />
to the Receive-Audio, Transmit-Audio (mic-audio), Push-To-Talk, Ground<br />
and optionally a Squelch input for shared voice/data channels. Most<br />
of these signals are typically available on the Microphone connector<br />
and also often on a rear-panel Accessory connector of the transceiver.<br />
If you will be wiring the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> to more than one radio, repeat the<br />
procedures below in sections 3.3.5 for each radio you will connect.<br />
3.3.1 Transceiver's Microphone or Accessory Connector?<br />
The most convenient way to connect your transceiver is through a rear<br />
panel Accessory connector if one is available. If the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> is<br />
connected as an accessory, the microphone used for voice operation can<br />
sometimes be left connected to the transceiver. This makes changing<br />
between voice and data modes easier than if the microphone must be<br />
unplugged in order to connect the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong>. On most HF radios however,<br />
the mic is "hot" and should be unplugged during data operation.<br />
3.3.2 Connections for Specific Transceiver Models<br />
APPENDIX E of this manual contains information and diagrams for<br />
connecting the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> to many modern HF and VHF transceivers. Please<br />
turn to APPENDIX E and locate the transceiver model you will be<br />
connecting to your <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong>. If you do not find the exact model of your<br />
transceiver in APPENDIX E, then locate a model from the same<br />
manufacturer that has the same Accessory or Microphone connector as<br />
the unit you will be connecting.<br />
