CONNECTION
The radio antenna connects by means of a BNC miniature coaxial connector. All other
connections to the T200 transceiver are made using a standard 9-way D type connector as
detailed in the table below.

PROGRAMMING
The software supplied with the T200 transmitter is the single channel TPRG.exe program. The
software can be run on a PC with the serial port connected to pin 7 of the transmitter via a
suitable adaptor as shown in Figure 1. The unit may be programmed in-situ provided that pin 7
is available. There is no feed-back facility with this circuit, and for this reason, the TPRG software
repeats the programming three times to eliminate error.
This version of software is programmed by a series of 8 byte data packets at 1200 baud. Each
packet includes a 16 bit sync code and an 11 bit checksum to eliminate the possibility of
spurious programming.
