RA-DR1XM Jumper Assignments: Jumper Summary - JU1 - Controls Revert logic polarity - Set to "B" position for DR-1X. JU2 - Audio amplifier powering - select between USB 5V and a external 12V source. JU3 - DR-1X internal controls enable - Set to "B" position for DR-1X. JU4 - Remove this jumper to enable PTT LED false illimination protection. PTT - One of two jumpers to select transistor or relay PTT keying. See NOTE below. PTT - Two of two jumpers to select transistor or relay PTT keying. See NOTE below. NOTE: The PTT keying method is selectable by two mechanical jumpers. You choose between Transistor or Relay keying. The selection between transistor and relay keying is done with a pair of two - 2-pin headers in a square arrangement. These headers are red and require two jumpers to be placed in either a up/down or back/forth (vertical or horizontal) side-by-side orientation. Both jumpers are required for the option to work correctly. The up/down position selects the relay, while the back/forth position selects the transistor. These headers are located in a square box labeled "PTT" near the relay. If the relay position is selected - it's best to also place JU6 - but not required. In the transistor position - select the position of JU6 as required and detailed below. JU1 and JU3 set up the Local Control function allowing the revert logic to switch to internal control. Local Control is a logic option that can enable the internal DR1X control method. If enabled, internal controls will allow the repeater to operate locally if the Asterisk application, computer, or RA-DR1XM should fail. Jumper JU2 - Audio amplifier powering. Position A = Amplifiers powered from USB 5VDC. Suitable for many radio applications where the maximum required P-P voltage doesn't exceed 5 volts. Position B = Amplifiers powered from external source 6 to 15 VDC. Some radios, like the Yaesu System Fusion, may require more than 5 volts P-P of audio. Many radios have a source of 10 to 15 volts readily available. Must be well filtered but regulation isn't necessary as long as enough current is available for the load. Driving speakers will require a power source capable of several hundred mA., depending on speaker impedance and desired listening level. JU4 False PTT LED illumination protection: Jumper JU4 is removed to enable this illumination protection. The jumper can be placed if this option should it create a problem for a particular installation. The jumper simply shorts out the diode. Place this jumper when using the relay PTT keying selection. Why is it necessary? Partial (or full) illumination of the PTT LED can happen if the radio adapter is connected to a radio that has a PTT switching voltage (bias) of less than 5 volts. This is the case with many portable radios. This situation causes the red PTT LED to partially illuminate. This illumination can also happen with just about any radio when the radio's power is turned off, falsely making it look like the radio is transmitting. Placing JU4 disables the BAT43 diode protection. Default is JU4 is removed, but place this jumper when using the relay PTT keying selection.
