Installation:

Refer to the schematic for the pinout of the Mini-DIN-6 where all of the logic signals, power
connections, and audio signals are listed.
Recommended receive audio input level:
The DRA-50M accepts the widest range of audio compared to any other similar radio adapter. The
input signal is attenuated by a potentiometer, giving the broadest range of acceptable levels.
As little as 20 mV P-P, and as much as 20 volts P-P. If your receive audio level is adjustable
or programmable we recommend around 2.0 volts P-P. This allows very good signal-to-noise
ratio and low cabling cross talk. This level results in a 50% rotational setting of the potentiometer.
All DRA-50M's are supplied with a Genuine C-Media CM119A, but the DRA-50M board was designed
to be versatile. It will accept a CM119 (without the A) and even the CM108.
There are slight differences between these components, and the board can be
'programmed' to accept any of the three.

DRAC-12 - 6-foot Mini-DIN-6 Radio Cable can be added optionally to connect several data capble radios to the DRA-50M.
