Analog Operation of the Transceiver The transceiver is designed for full digital modulation, while offering analog support to those systems that require it. Operation is compatible with the MDS x710 family products, but some SD radio-specific command configuration and wiring may necessary based on differences in SD hardware. This section describes the connection using the radio in analog service. Physical Interface The physical interface for analog operation utilizes pins on radio's COM1 (management) connector. This connector is multiplexed with the serial data lines used for software commands. The applicable pins of the DB-9 are as follows: • Pin 8—Receive Audio (-20dbm to 0dbm, as set by RXLEVEL command) • Pin 4—Transmit Audio (-20dbm to 0dbm, as set by TXLEVEL command) • Pin 6—Push-to-Talk (3v TTL, 5v tolerant) • Pin 5—Ground (negative supply potential)
