4.1.3 CONNECTING COMPUTER TO TRANSCEIVER

NOTE: [What are the part numbers of the 4300 parts?] Only RPI, Part No. 023-5300-000, can be

used to program the 5300-series transceiver. Other RPIs such as 023-9800-000 and 023-9750-

000 are not compatible with this transceiver.

Connecting RPI To Computer

The Radio Programming Interface (RPI) provides the required logic interface between the

computer and transceiver. The cable from the RPI to computer is not included with the RPI. The

RPI has a female DB9 connector, and most computer serial ports have a male DB9 or DB25

connector. Therefore, a male DB9 to female DB9 or DB25 is usually required. This is a standard

cable available at most computer supply stores or order 6 ft. DB9M to DB9F cable, Part No. 597-

5900-002.

Connecting RPI To Transceiver

The programming setup for a front mount transceiver is shown in Figure 4-1. With

transceivers that use the standard front or remote control unit, the cable from the RPI plugs into

the microphone jack of the transceiver or control unit. This cable is Part No. 023-5300-005

[What is the part number of the 4300 part?], and it is not included with the RPI. Connecting the

programming setup to the handheld controller is described in the next section.

4.1.4 HANDHELD CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING SETUP

When the Handheld Control Unit is used (see Section 3), the same computer, RPI, and

programming cable are used as with the standard front and remote models. In addition, the

following components are required:

• The junction box (Part No. 023-5300-130 [What is the part number of the 4300 part?]) is

required to provide a connection point for the RPI since the control unit does not have a

programming jack. This box may not be included with some handheld control units.

• Adapter Plug, Part No. 023-5300-140 [What is the part number of the 4300 part?], is

required to plug the 4300 programming cable into the rectangular 10-pin programming connector

on the junction box (see following illustration).

Only one transceiver programming parameter must be changed when the Handheld Control
