Transmitting and correct use of microphone
With the transmission button (Push To Talk) on the side of the microphone you can
switch between receiving and transmitting:
•
Press PTT button to transmit.
The display shows TX .
•
Release PTT button again to switch back to receiving.
When the transmission PTT button is depressed, you can speak from a distance of
about 5-10 cm into the microphone. The modulation amplifier of your AE 5290 is
sensitive enough and enables you in most cases to speak with even more distance,
depending on how loud your voice is. An automatic regulator ensures that your
partner always hears your signal at the same volume.
It is best to test the best distance from the microphone for yourself with the help of
another station.
External sockets
External loudspeaker
Depending on the surrounding noise, it can be advisable to hook up an external
loudspeaker. Usual commercial radio loudspeakers with 4-8 ohms impedance and 2-
4 W minimum output can be plugged in.
The cable can be up to 3 metres long. For car loudspeakers, make sure to use a
two-pin 3.5 mm jack plug and ensure that none of the loudspeaker connections are
attached to the vehicle chassis.
External S-meter
On the back, your AE 5290 has an S-Meter socket on the rear side, which allows you
to connect up an external S-Meter to show the relative signal strength. This gives
more exact information than the bar display. Please ask your authorized dealer
about external S-meters. The S-meter should be installed near the radio set using a
cable no longer than 3 metres. You need a 2.5 mm jack plug to connect it up. The
polarity is positive, i.e. the positive pole of the S-meter is connected to the inner pin,
and the negative pole is on the outside.
Microphone socket
The 6-pole microphone socket on the front side is wired according to the well-known
Albrecht specifications, which also meet the recommendations issued by the German
manufacturers of CB radios.
Apart from the hand microphone included in the package, you can also hook up
other microphones and accessories.
