30 ADL Vantage/ADL Vantage Pro/ADL Vantage 35
Pinouts and Connectors
The radio uses a #1-shell, 5-pin circular data/power connector. For a mating connector,
Pacific Crest recommends using a LEMO P/N FGG.1B.305.CLAD.72Z, or equivalent.
The following table shows the radio’s pin assignments:
Code Description
1 Power: 9 VDC to 30 VDC input (10-16 for ADL Vantage 35)
2 Ground for Power
3 Rx (Connects to the external device’s Rx pin)
4 Signal Ground
5 Tx (Connects to the external device’s Tx pin)
The following figure shows the orientation of the pins in the radio’s female data/power
connector. It shows a front view of the pin-outs (looking from outside the radio).
Antenna
All Pacific Crest ADL radios use a TNC female antenna connector. While you may attach
an antenna directly to the radio, range will be greatly improved if you elevate the antenna
as high as possible. Pacific Crest makes antenna cables in a variety of lengths. These
terminate in industry-standard NMO or N-type connectors. If you wish to use your own
antenna cable, we recommend Amphenol-brand connectors. You should also use only
high-quality, 50-Ohm impedance cabling.
