l
DISPLAY connector
Connects to an external display unit. You can mirror the main
screen display onto an external monitor. {page 16-18}
The DISPLAY connector contains a DVI-I connector which
can transfer both digital and analog RGB signals.
To connect to an analog RGB display having a D-sub 15-
pin connector, use a commercially available conversion
connector.
Note:
◆ To connect to an external display unit, you must use a DVI cable
with a line filter (commercially available). If no snap-on ferrite core
is available on the cable, you must snap the line filter, supplied with
the transceiver (E-type only), on to the DVI cable.
◆ Use an external display with 800x600 or 848x480 resolution.
m (USB-B) connector
Connects to a PC. This can be used when the transceiver
is remotely controlled using ARCP-990, when the received
audio is played using a PC, or when the firmware is being
updated. Use a commercially available USB cable with a
USB-B type connector. {page 1-5}
n OPTICAL OUT (Optical Digital Audio Output)
connector
An audio device with an optical digital input terminal can be
connected. {page 16-19}
Sampling Rate/Bit: 48 kHz/ 24 bits
o OPTICAL IN (Optical Digital Audio Input) connector
An audio device with an optical digital output terminal can be
connected. {page 16-19}
Sampling Rate/Bit: 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz/24 bits and 16 bits
Note:
◆ To connect to external equipment, use a commercially available
optical cable.
p DRV (Drive Output) terminal
Connects to a transverter or linear amplifier (1 mW typical
output level). {page 4-21} , {page 16-33}
q METER connector
Connects to a meter (commercially available). Use a meter
with the following specifications:
• Input Impedance: 4.7kΩ
• Open End Voltage: 0 to 5 V
Note:
◆ The default is 50% of the open end voltage (2.5 V). The output level
can be changed in Advanced Menu 2. {page 16-15}
r REMOTE connector
Mates with a linear amplifier, foot switch and other external
equipment. Use the supplied 7-pin DIN plug to mate
with. {page 1-6}, {page 1-10}
s
ACC 2 connector
Connects to an external equipment such as an external
terminal. Use the supplied 13-pin DIN plug to mate
with. {page 1-8}, {page 1-11}
t KEY jack
Connects to an electronic keyer such as a bug key or
electronic keyer, and a PC keyer. Depending on the menu
configuration, you can use the internal electronic keyer with a
paddle connection. {page 5-19}
u RX IN connector
Connects to an antenna dedicated for reception, an
external BPF, a transverter, etc. When active, signals from
this connector replace those from ANT1 - ANT4 (for RX
only). {page 4-21}
v
RX OUT connector
Connects to an external BPF, another receiver, a transverter,
etc. Connecting the signal from the RX OUT connector to the
RX IN connector enables reception by the internal receiver.
MICROPHONE (OPTION)
a
PTT (Push-to-talk) switch
Hold down this switch to transmit. Release the switch to
receive.
b UP/ DOWN keys: [UP]/[DOWN] (microphone)
Press to increment or decrement the VFO frequency or select
the previous or next items in the following mode.
Press and hold these keys to continuously increment or
decrement the parameters. You can assign functions to the
keys, as function keys. {page 16-5}
• VFO mode: Press to increment or decrement the VFO frequency.
• Memory Channel Mode; Press to increment or decrement the
memory channel number.
• Memory Scroll Mode: Press to increment or decrement the memory
scroll number.
• CW Paddle: This function allows you to send CW without using an
external key/paddle. The Mic [UP] and Mic [DWN] keys can be
used as a manual paddle keyer.
• Menu: Press to show the next or previous parameter.
c LOCK key [LOCK] (MC-60A/MC-90 only)
Press to lock the PTT key in Transmit. Press again to revert to
Receive mode.
