INTERFACE OF PACKET TNCS

The VX-8GR/GE may be used for Packet operation, using the optional CT-44 Micro-

phone Adapter (available from your Yaesu dealer) for easy interconnection to commonly-

available connectors wired to your TNC.

The audio level from the receiver to the TNC may be adjusted by rotating the DIAL knob

while pressing and holding the g key, as with voice operation. The input level to the

VX-8GR/GE from the TNC should be adjusted at the TNC side; the optimum input volt-

age is approximately 5 mV at 2000 Ohms.

Be sure to turn the transceiver and TNC off before connecting the cables, to prevent volt-

age spikes from damaging your transceiver.
