VX-5R O

PERATING

ANUAL

The

VX-5R

may be used for Packet operation, using the optional

CT-44

microphone

adapter (available from your Yaesu dealer) for easy interconnection to commonly-avail-
able connectors wired to your TNC. You may also build your own cable using a four-
conductor miniature phone plug, per the diagram below.

The audio level from the receiver to the TNC may be adjusted by using the

VOLUME

knob, as with voice operation. The input level to the

VX-5R

from the TNC should be

adjusted at the TNC side; the optimum input voltage is approximately 5 mV at 2 k

Ω

Be sure to turn the transceiver and TNC off before connecting the cables, so as to prevent
voltage spikes from possibly damaging your transceiver.
