UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR
The UDC is located on the side of radio just above the
PTT and Monitor Buttons. Various equipment such as the
audio accessories can be connected to the radio via the
UDC. The programming equipment is also connected to it
when the personality is programmed into the radio. The
UDC furnishes an excellent first-check-point for initial
bench checks without the need to disassemble the radio. Ta-
ble 2 lists all pins and their appropriate function. When the
radio is turned on it senses the resistance value between
UDC pins 9 and 1 and switches the appropriate circuits to
provide proper radio-to-accessory operation.
PROGRAMMING
The radio’s personality is programmed using an IBM
PC or compatible computer. A full-screen portable PC can
be used for field programming. The Programming Manual
and Software is TQ-3339 and TQ-4339. TQ-3339 is sup-
plied with 5-1/4 inch floppy disks and TQ-4339 is supplied
with 3-1/2 inch disks. This software uses a series of screens
and windows to guide you through a programming session.
See TQ-3339 or TQ-4339 for further programming details.
PC Programming Adapter TQ-3370 and Programming Ca-
ble TQ-3311 will also be required. These items provide in-
terface and connection between the PC and the radio when
the personality is transferred from the PC into the radio.
