The power in 13,8V and the connections of the loudspeakers are made through a Molex plug. It is the same type of plug as for the power plug of IDE CD drives and IDE hardrives in a compatible PC, thus, if the original cable were to be missing, it si possible to get one on an old power supply of a PC.
The front face have a unique RJ45 plug designed for the mike. This plus is commonly used in computer networks.Outside of the signal of the microphone and the PTT, a power box is designed for an accessory. It should be noted that the original microphone has a transistor for pre-amplification. The pin for the signal « mike hang up » is derouted for the command of a frequency of 1750 Hz (see modification lower).
A DB15 connector for the accessories is also found on the back face, it is used to generate the 1750 Hz, and the connection to a computer. The pins for this plug are the following :
Pin Nb | Description |
---|---|
1 | Non regulated power 13,8V |
2 | Regulated power 9V |
3 | GND |
4 | Mike signal |
5 | GND |
6 | Transmission audio in |
7 | RXD |
8 | Alternate (PTT) |
9 | Reception FM out |
10 | Reception audio out |
11 | TXD |
12 | Alarm in (not used) |
13 | Generation of the1750 Hz tone |
14 | Loudspeaker mute |
15 | Loudspeaker audio out |
On the back of the CPU board, there is a 20 pins connector going to the DB15 plug. Since the number of pins is diferents, some signals are missing on the DB15. This is the description found by F8EGQ:

Should I explain what the BNC is used for ?
