13 CONNECTOR INFORMATION EXT KEYPAD USB port (type A) By connecting an external keypad with a circuit as shown below to [EXT KEYPAD], you can output memory content in 8 channel memories. You can output memory contents such as that from a CW Memory keyer (M1 ~ M8), Voice memory (T1 ~ T8), RTTY Memory (RT1 ~ RT8), PSK memory (PT1 ~ PT8) to be transmitted. zzPush a switch to send the memory information. zz Hold down the switch for 1 second to repeatedly send the memory information.

13 CONNECTOR INFORMATION X-VERTER RX-ANT IN/OUT Outputs HF frequency signals for the Transverter operation. Connect a receive antenna to [RX-ANT IN], and a receiver to [RX-ANT OUT]. ••Input/Output impedance: 50 Ω (unbalanced) ••Output signal level: More than –20 dBm ••Input/Output impedance: 50 Ω (unbalanced) ••Connector type: BNC L Signal is directly received through [RX-ANT IN], instead of the antenna connector. You can also connect an external preamp or filter, as shown below.
INSTALLATION NOTES For amateur base station installations it is recommended that the forward clearance in front of the antenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals. In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods.
