External S-meter
Your AE 5090 XL has an S-Meter socket on the rear side, which allows You to
connect up an external S-Meter to show the relative signal strength. This gives more
exact information than the bar display. Please ask Your authorized dealer about
external S-meters. The S-meter should be installed near the radio set using a cable
no longer than 3 metres. You need a 2.5 mm mono plug to connect it up. The polarity
is positive, i.e. the positive pole of the S-meter is connected to the inner pin, and the
negative pole is on the outside.
Microphone socket
The 6-pole microphone socket on the front side is wired according to the well-known
Albrecht specifications, which also meet the recommendations issued by the German
manufacturers of CB radios.
Apart from the microphone included in the package, You can also hook up other
microphones and accessories.
The microphone socket has been tested and is suitable for nearly all kind of
microphones, even those with amplifiers or selective calling devices. According to the
latest regulations You are also allowed to plug in modems or so-called TNC`s for
data transfer (Packet Radio). However, this type of data transfer is only permitted on
certain channels and only for non-commercial use.
Special regulations apply to data transfer abroad. In Switzerland, for example, Packet
Radio is permitted on channels 21-25, but only with a call signal granted by the
authorities. In some other European countries Packet Radio is not allowed at all.
