Pinouts and Connectors
The radio uses a #1-shell, 5-pin circular data/power connector. For a mating connector,
Pacific Crest recommends using a LEMO P/N FGG.1B.305.CLAD.72Z, or equivalent.
The following table shows the radio’s pin assignments:
Code
Description
1
Power: 9 V DC to 30 V DC input
2
Ground for Power
3
Rx (Connects to the external device’s Rx pin)
4
Signal Ground
5
Tx (Connects to the external device’s Tx pin)
The following figure shows the orientation of the pins in the radio’s female data/power
connector. It shows a front view of the pin-outs (looking from outside the radio).
Antenna
All Pacific Crest ADL radios use a TNC female antenna connector. While you may attach
an antenna directly to the radio, range will be greatly improved if you elevate the
antenna as high as possible. Pacific Crest makes antenna cables in a variety of lengths.
These terminate in industry-standard NMO or N-type connectors. If you wish to use
your own antenna cable, we recommend Amphenol-brand connectors. You should also
use only high-quality, 50-Ohm impedance cabling.
