PK-232 MBX – OPERATING MANUAL RADIO INSTALLATION
4/91 3-2 26
If you are using an HF transceiver or Short-Wave receiver you should consult Chapter 10
for information on the Signal Identification mode. Chapters 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 talk specifi-
cally about some of the modes you may encounter on the HF and Short-Wave bands.
If you are connecting to a VHF scanner or VHF/UHF transceiver you should look over
Chapter 4 on Packet operation.
3.3 Transmit and Receive Radio Connections
To connect your PK-232 to a HF or VHF TRANSCEIVER you will need access to the Receive-
Audio, Transmit-Audio (mic-audio), Push-To-Talk, Ground and optionally a Squelch input for
shared voice/data channels. Most of these signals are typically available on the Microphone
connector and also often on a rear-panel Accessory connector of the transceiver.
If you will be wiring the PK-232 to more than one radio, repeat the procedures below in sec-
tions 3.3.5 for each radio you will connect.
3.3.1 Transceiver's Microphone or Accessory Connector?
The most convenient way to connect your transceiver is through a rear panel Accessory
connector if one is available. If the PK-232 is connected as an accessory, the microphone
used for voice operation can sometimes be left connected to the transceiver. This makes
changing between voice and data modes easier than if the microphone must be un-
plugged in order to connect the PK-232. On most HF radios however, the mic is "hot" and
should be unplugged during data operation.
3.3.2 Connections for Specific Transceiver Models
APPENDIX E of this manual contains information and diagrams for connecting the PK-232
to many modern HF and VHF transceivers. Please turn to APPENDIX E and locate the
transceiver model you will be connecting to your PK-232. If you do not find the exact
model of your transceiver in APPENDIX E, then locate a model from the same manufac-
turer that has the same Accessory or Microphone connector as the unit you will be con-
necting.
3.3.3 Check Your Transceiver's Operating Manual
Locate the Operating Manual for your transceiver and turn to the page describing the con-
nector to which you will attach your PK-232. Even if you found the exact model of your
transceiver in APPENDIX E, it is a good idea to verify that your transceiver's manual
agrees with the information in the appendix. If the information does not agree, or you
could not find the exact transceiver model in APPENDIX E, then you should use the infor-
mation contained in your transceiver's manual to connect the PK-232.
3.3.4 Specific Connection Points
Whether you are connecting an HF Single Side Band transceiver for RTTY/FAX operation,
or a VHF/UHF transceiver exclusively for packet, the minimum connections to your trans-
ceiver will be almost identical. HF transceivers have a few optional connections that will
be covered after the basic connections have been made.
The following table and figure will be helpful in identifying the proper basic connection
points to the PK-232 radio cable.
