Connections
Drawings of the connection cables can be found under appendix B.
Control-RRC:
Connect a standard RS-232 cable between the PC and the RRC COM2.
The microphone can be connected direct to the RRC AUX/MIC connector if you have a
microphone with RJ-45 connector. If you have a microphone with a circular connector you
can buy an adapter cable, MJ-88, from Kenwood or make one by yourself.
The speaker is connected direct to the RRC SP-jack with a 3.5 mm stereo plug.
Radio-RRC:
From the RRC COM2 connector to the radios CAT connector (D-sub RS-232) you use a
special cable. There are also "off-the-shelf" cables also but not as common as the straight
cable.
Between the RRC AUX/MIC connector and the radios microphone jack you can connect a
standard patch cable if the radio have a RJ-45 jack. If the radio have a circular
microphone jack you need to make an adapter cable by yourself or buy one from e.g. a
Tigertronics distributor (for Signallink), its article number is SLCAB8R. If you use
Tigertronic cable you need to put the straps different. If you make the cable by yourself,
just cut a standard FTP (screened) patch cable and solder an 8-pin circular connector on
it. Make the cable as short as possible to prevent it from picking up HF.
The speaker signal from the radios external speaker jack to the RRC SP jack is connected
via a standard "off- the-shelf” cable with 3.5 mm stereo plugs in both ends.
