Non-SGC Transceivers
SGC wants its equipment to be universal. To show that vari-
ous other HF transceivers work in our demonstration cars, we
installed and tested four foreign-manufactured amateur
radio transceivers for operation and compatibility with the
500-watt mobile installation.
The Alinco DX-60, Yaesu FT-900, Kenwood TS-50, and Icom
IC-706 were each used to conduct performance tests.
Additional Connections. Each rig has unique mounting
and operating schemes.
Coax jumper: All require a coax jumper to be constructed
for connection to the SG-500 RF IN jack, 12 VDC for power,
and a PTT line. For coax runs longer than a few feet, we rec-
ommend the use of high-quality, low-loss cable such as RG-8
or RG-8X.
Mounting brackets: In many of the compact amateur radio
transceivers, the mobile mounting bracket or front panel
separation kit is supplied only as an option, so be sure to
check with your dealer when purchasing the equipment.
The PTT line: The Push-to-talk line, which closes a set of
contacts when the microphone is keyed, was readily avail-
able on all of the rigs via a rear-panel jack. Although some
radios may require a special DIN-type plug to access the PTT
line, many use the common RCA audio-style plug available at
most electronic stores.
