2 INSTALLATION
■ Antenna Tuner (AT)
If using an external AT-300 antenna tuner, connect it here using the cable supplied with the antenna tuner. The
AT-300 must be connected to ANT 1; it will not function if connected to ANT 2.
■ SM-230 Station Monitor (IF OUT 1)
Connect a cable from the IF OUT 1 jack to the IF IN jack on the SM-230 Station Monitor. This cable couples the
8.83 MHz IF from your TS-870S for pan display on the Station Monitor.
■ Accessory Equipment (ACC 2)
If you intend to use this transceiver for any of the digital modes, connect the input/output connections from a
Terminal Node Controller (TNC) for Packet operation, a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) for operation
on Packet, PacTOR, AMTOR, G-TOR, or FAX, or a Clover interface to this connector.
SSTV and phone patch equipment can also be connected to ACC 2. SSTV operation is possible by connecting the
input/output from a computer sound card to ACC 2, then running an SSTV application on the computer.
To operate on the digital modes, you will need the following equipment:
• Personal computer with communications software (alternatively, a “dumb” terminal capable of sending ASCII
commands)
• TNC (Terminal Node Controller) or MCP (Multimode Communications Processor)
• TNC or MCP power supply
• RS-232C cable
• 13-pin DIN plug and cable
Connect your TNC or MCP to the ACC 2 connector on the transceiver Rear Panel using a cable equipped with a
13-pin DIN plug.
Do not share a single power supply between the transceiver and the TNC or MCP. Keep as wide a separation
between the transceiver and computer as practical to reduce noise-pickup by the transceiver. Refer to the
accompanying table for connection information.
