PK-232 OPERATING MANUAL RADIO INSTALLATION
Figure 3-1 Receive audio connection to the PK-232.
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 specifically 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 sections 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
unplugged 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
manufacturer that has the same Accessory or Microphone connector as
the unit you will be connecting.
