SK1 I/O signal descriptions
A LINE OUT 1
■ Signal direction: output
■ Signal level: -30 to +10dBm
■ Signal impedance: 600 ohms
Half of the isolated balanced audio output line, paired with LINE OUT 2. Audio
is from radio receiver which is optionally summed with line in audio when the
optional side tone adjustment pot RV3 is fitted. The radio RX audio to line output
level is adjusted by VR1. The radio signal source is fixed in level with
AUD_TAP_OUT is selected or is varied with the radio volume control if the
RX_AUD source is selected as an option in the TA2922 programmable options.
Note that in some radio configurations the RX_AUD level becomes fixed and is
not volume controlled, such as when some remote head or multi-head options are
in use. The frequency response of audio sourced from AUD_TAP_OUT is defined
in the programmable audio options of the radio, while audio sourced from
RX_AUD is de-emphasised. Depending on link population, the line output pair
can be used for 2-wire audio in and out and for centre tap ‘phantom’ DC keying
options. See “Additional configuration links” on page 38. Frequency response is
from 50Hz to 3kHz.
