Each port or connector on the 5800 receiver is marked with an icon to
indicate its main function, as shown in Table 13.1.
Port 1 is a 7-pin 0-shell Lemo connector that supports RS-232 comms
and external power input. Port 1 has no power outputs.
Port 2 is a DB-9 male connector that allows for full 9-pin RS-232
comms. Port 2 does not support power in or out. For more information,
see Default Settings, page 144 and Cables and Connectors, page 147.
The TNC port connector is for connecting a radio antenna to the
receiver internal radio. A whip “rubber duck” antenna is supplied with
the system for units with internal UHF or 900 MHz radios. This
connector is not used if you are using an external radio receiver. For
more information on connecting the 5800 receiver, see the following
sections in this chapter.
