Preparing Station Master Deluxe for Use
Do Not turn the Station Master Deluxe On until instructed to do so!
Connecting Station Master Deluxe with
micro
KEYER, DigiKEYER, DigiKeyer II or CW KEYER:
1.
If your station includes a
micro
HAM
micro
KEYER, DigiKeyer, DigiKeyer II, or CW KEYER disconnect the
computer control lead (CAT) from the radio. Connect the appropriate CAT cable (optional accessory) for
your radio to the CAT jack of SMD and the computer control port of your radio.
2.
Connect a RCA cable (supplied) from the PTTIN jack on Station Master Deluxe to the PTT output
(amplifier PTT) of your transceiver. Refer to the Operator's Manual for your transceiver for the proper
signal connection. PTT output is on the REMOTE DIN for Kenwood, the Band Data jack for Yaesu, and
ACC2 (DIN 7) for Icom.
If your transceiver does not have an RCA connector for PTT Output, it will be necessary to make the
proper adapter.
IMPORTANT:
This connection is required for proper operation of Station Master Deluxe with VOX.
3.
Using an RCA “Y” cable (Radio Shack 274-881 or equivalent, not supplied), connect the PAPTT output of
micro
KEYER or DigiKEYER or the PTT output of CW Keyer to the PTT IN jack of Station Master Deluxe.
4.
If your transceiver has an INHIBIT input (Yaesu often labels INHIBIT “LINEAR” on the BAND DATA jack),
connect the inhibit input of your transceiver to the INHIBIT output jack of SMD.
IMPORTANT:
Connecting INHIBIT is best way to prevent hot switching.
5.
Remove the top cover from Station Master Deluxe and set the CAT jumpers as shown in the following
chart. The CAT interface jumpers must be configured to select the proper signal level for your
transceiver.
