SignaLink Jumper Settings & Wiring Information For Base & Mobile Radios

References to other non-USB models have been removed from the original Tigertronics document.

Warning: Tigertronics has not verified the accuracy of all of the radio wiring information that is provided here. This

information is provided for reference only and is NOT intended to replace the jumper installation procedure in the

“Connecting The Radio” section of the SignaLink Installation Manual. It is essential that you double-check this information

against your radio's manual before doing the actual installation. While it is fairly simple to install the SignaLink, it is

possible to DAMAGE YOUR RADIO or the SignaLink by incorrectly installing it!

IMPORTANT NOTES

 SignaLink USB Users - The SignaLink USB is always powered by the computer's USB jack. When installing the jumpers

for the SignaLink USB using the settings shown here and in our other documentation, please disregard the PWR jumper

(do NOT install it!). All other jumper settings are the same. Note that if you mistakenly install the PWR jumper, it will

make no difference in the operation of the unit as this pin is not internally connected.

 Select The Correct Diagram - When viewing the jumper settings below, BE CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE LOOKING

AT THE CORRECT DIAGRAM for the radio connector that you

will be using. For any given radio, there are likely to be different

jumper settings for the Mic, Data and Accessory Port connectors.

 RJ-45 Mic Connectors - There is a lack of standardization in the way

that radio manufacturers number their RJ-45 mic connectors. We

have numbered our connector according to the dominant industry

standard as shown to the right. Icom and Radio Shack also follow this

standard, but Kenwood, Yaesu and some others do not. You need to

be very careful to determine how your mic connector is numbered to

avoid reversing connections!

 PTT - You should verify in your radio manual that the radio PTT

requirements do not exceed the specifications of the SignaLink keying

circuit (please refer to the SignaLink manual) and that the PTT line is

“Grounded” to make the radio transmit. If your radio exceeds the

specifications listed or requires some other keying arrangement, then

please contact our Technical Support Staff for suggestions.

 POWER - The SignaLink USB is always powered by the computer's USB jack. When installing the jumpers for the

SignaLink USB, please disregard the PWR jumper. All other jumper settings are the same. If you mistakenly install the

PWR jumper, everything is OK as this pin is NOT connected inside the unit.

 Jumper Wire Color - The jumper wires in the diagrams below are shown in color for illustrative purposes only. The color

of the wires means nothing - they're just easier to see! The actual jumper wires that are included with the SignaLink are all

the same color and can be used to jumper any signal.

Note that the SignaLink USB is always powered by the computer, so you can disregard the PWR jumper when installing

this unit.

 RECEIVE AUDIO / SPEAKER AUDIO - Receive Audio is available on the Mic, Data, and Accessory Port connectors

of most radios. If Receive Audio is not shown in the jumper settings for your radio, then consult your radio manual to see

if it is available. If it is not, then you will need to connect a mono cable between your radio's External Speaker or

headphone jack, and the "Speaker" jack on the back of the SignaLink. See the SignaLink Installation Manual for details.

SELECT A MANUFACTURER NOTE: Please read the "Important Notes" above BEFORE you select your jumper settings. This will save time and may help prevent you from making a mistake that could possibly damage the SignaLink or your radio. Note that the SignaLink USB does NOT use the PWR jumper wire, so you can disregard this jumper during installation. All other jumper settings are the same.

Plug-N-Play Module Installation Instructions The installation of the of the Plug & Play jumper modules is very simply, but you need to be careful that you don't bend any of the pins, or they may break off and become stuck inside the SignaLink's socket. You should not have any trouble if you are just the slightest bit careful, but please note that broken pins and/or any damage to the jumper module or the SignaLink as a result of broken pins, is not covered under warranty.
