TS-930 transciever mods ======================= Part 2 of 2 Additional comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even though the receiver low frequency end is spec'd as 150kHz, it will operate down to 100kHz. To conveniently switch in a general purpose receiving antenna you must use the transverter connector. When the 8 pin DIN plug is plugged into this connector, a switch operates which separates the coaxial antenna input from the receiver input. These two connections appear at pins 8 and 5 resp. of the transverter connector. (This 8 pin DIN plug is not furnished with the 930). The most convenient setup is to bring cables from both the REMOTE and TRANSVERTER connectors into a junction box which has appropriate connectors and switches on it for interfacing to a transverter, receiving antenna, linear amp, etc. Here is a chart of the connections to these connectors: REMOTE (7 pin DIN) XVERTER (8 pin DIN) 1 Speaker output 1 Grd 2 Grd 2 +V out on xmit* 3 PTT 3 Grd 4 Q-22 out** 4 XVRT ON/OFF Control*** 5 unused 5 Receiver input 6 ALC input 6 XVRTR ALC input 7 XMIT RELAY** 7 Xmit RF to xvrtr input 8 HF ant in * A 12 volt, 50ma max. relay may be connected from pin 2 to ground. This relay will operate on xmit. ** Original units used Q-22 collector for linear amp relay control. This did not work with low voltage relay systems or those using a negative voltage. An optional relay board (Now supplied in all units as standard) is available and provides a normally open contact closure to ground at pin 7. *** Pin 4 is grounded to enable xvrtr operation. This may be done by a switch in the transverter itself. Be careful not to transmit out-of-band, or accidentally operate on any non-amateur frequency, unless you are authorized to do so.
