Installing options and connecting to external devices (transceiver, 

computer, etc.)

a)  CAT/AUX interface – used for connecting and operating with various transceiver models (see 

table 2-1 below and the respective menu in S. 5-3, table 5-1 and Fig. 5-3).

Most of the modern transceivers can be connected by CAT to the ACOM 700S. This will allow the 

amplifier to track the transceiver frequency without any transmission and change the bands automatically 

when in Operate mode. The cable can be supplied optionally, ordered separately or home brewed 

according to table 2-1 and the transceiver’s manual. 

The CAT connection requires a cable made especially for the ACOM 700S and your transceiver. Wiring 

diagrams of such cables can be found at www.acom-bg.com. 

Note that some of the connections - to the transceiver’s BCD band data outputs and Band Voltage 

outputs do not provide an exact frequency data, but only band data. Those connections cannot be 

used when ACOM 700S works together with ACOM 04AT because the tuner needs to know the exact 

frequency, not the band. 

Table 2-1 shows the signals and the pin out of the CAT/AUX connector - rear panel of the amplifier.
