To use the radio for packet, the receiver battery saver
should be disabled (see page

since the “sleep”

periods used in power saving can cause packets to
be missed.

Construct a TNC interface cable as shown in the
drawing, and connect the

jack to your TNC.

impedance is 2

and maximum input is 300

EAR

impedance is 8 ohms, and maximum

output is 2 Vrms

supply).

Note

the FT-50R is not recommend for use with

9600 bps data

operation.
