PGM
Serial programming/configuration input at RS232 level
P1 (MOD TXD)
P2 (MOD RXD)
P3 (MOD NC)
Parallel frequency select inputs. Inverted logic, internal 10k pullups to 4V
Notes:
1. Carrier detect on VX2M mutes the AF Out and RXD outputs. It can be factory disabled.
2. All the open collector outputs must be connected to Vcc/+4.4V out via a pull-up resistor.
3. The software incorporates a 1200baud dumb modem, compatible with that implemented in TX2M,
RX2M radios (I1200 tones and format)
4. With 1200baud modem mode enabled, parallel selection of channel is unavailable as the P1-P3 lines
are used for modem input/output operations.
5. PGM and MOD TXD (pin 10 and 11) tolerate true ±RS232 levels. No buffering is required.
