1 Physical description
The
Bandmaster III
is a fairly simple device. The front panel has a power LED and 12 LEDs
indicating the currently selected band. The back of the
Bandmaster III
has five connectors (figure
1 below) used for the various connections;
1. The Relay Output is a 25-pin D-sub connector used to connect the
Bandmaster III
to other
devices. A mating connector and shell are supplied with the unit.
2. The USB connector is used to connect the
Bandmaster III
to your computer.
3. The CI-V connector is a 1/8” phone jack used for Icom radios. When using any radio type
except Icom this connector will transmit a CI-V frequency data stream to allow automatic
band switching of Icom amplifiers (exception: The PW-1 will not work) and other Icom
accessories with non-Icom radios.
4. The Radio connector is a 9-pin D-sub male connector used to connect the
Bandmaster III
to
your radio (RS-232, TTL, BCD Band Data, etc).
5. The network connector is used to supply power to the
Bandmaster III
and the 4-Wireantenna
control network. The connector block has screw terminals for easy connection and is supplied
with the unit.
