Function Description 

Signal 

Type  Input/ 

Output 

Data modulation IN 

(Tx Mod) 
 

 

Default 

: AC coupled signal directly injected 

to MOD through data low pass filter without 

pre-emphasis. 
 

Direct Modulation(includes POCSAG) 

: DC 

coupled signal directly injected to MOD. No 

data filter and pre-emphasis on signal path. 
Direct FM MOD. is selected by PC program. 

Link 409 fitted. Link 412 not fitted.

   

Default 

: Analog signal 

 

1KHz audio at 60% 
peak system deviation 

input level = 

100 to 120mVrms 

 

Direct FM

 : TTL level 

RS 232 data IN 

Input to Bell 202/V23, FFSK, GMSK modem. 

Link 409 not fitted and link412 fitted. 

RS-232 level (option) 
+12V = Tx 

-12V = Rx 

I/P 

Data unfiltered OUT 

(RX disc) 

Discriminator audio from the SD-250. This is 

the unprocessed AF signal prior to tone 

filtering and de-emphasis. 

Link 413 fitted and link 414 not fitted. 

Analog signal 

1KHz audio at 60% 

peak system deviation 

produces  
200 to 300mVrms 

RS 232 data OUT 

Output from Bell 202/V23, FFSK, GMSK 

modem. 

Link 413 not fitted and link 414 fitted 

RS-232 level (option) 

+12V = Tx 
-12V = Rx 

O/P 

PTT In (Tx Key) 
 

 

Signal, which keys the transmitter, is an 
active low input with an internal pull up 

resistor. If required, the pin can be converted 

to active high using link options. 

TTL level 
0V = Tx 

o/c = Rx
