E&M (4W E&M)

E&M is a type of supervisory line signalling that uses DC signals on separate leads, called the "E" lead
and "M" lead, traditionally used in the telecommunications industry between telephone switches.
The E lead is normally used to signal PTT to the radio and the M lead is used to signal squelch
back to the voice control system.
A 4W E&M consists of a total of 8 wires, 2W for audio in each direction, 2W for PTT signalling and
2W for squelch signalling.
ETSI

IETF
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops and promotes Internet standards, cooperating
closely with the W3C and ISO/IEC standards bodies and dealing in particular with standards of the
TCP/IP and Internet protocol suite.
IF
In communications and electronic engineering, an intermediate frequency (IF) is a frequency to
which a carrier frequency is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission or reception. The
intermediate frequency is created by mixing the carrier signal with a local oscillator signal in a
process called heterodyning, resulting in a signal at the difference or beat frequency. Intermediate
frequencies are used in super heterodyne radio receivers, in which an incoming signal is shifted to an
IF for amplification before final detection is done.
IP
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol used for relaying datagram
(packets) across and internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite. Responsible for routing packets
across network boundaries, it is the primary protocol that establishes the Internet.
LAN
Local Area Network
MIB
Management Information Base is a virtual database used for managing the objects (parameters) in a
communications network. Most often associated with the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). The MIB database is hierarchical (tree-structured). The software that performs the
navigation in the MIB database is a MIB browser. The MIB database is Jotron proprietary and
contains descriptions and definitions for all parameters in the radio. The MIB database is updated
each time a new radio parameter is added or changed.

hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) now are
implemented by means of software on an embedded computing devices, i.e. a Digital Signal
Processor (DSP).
SIP
Session Initiation Protocol is an IETF-defined signalling protocol, widely used for controlling
multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over the Internet Protocol (IP). The
protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party (unicast) or multiparty
(multicast) communication sessions consisting of one or several media streams.
S/N

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a UDP-based network protocol. It is used mostly in network
management systems to monitor and control network connected devices like the Jotron radios.
SNMP is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer
protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe
the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing
applications like a MIB browser or the Jotron proprietary Radio Controller Client.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from a
program on one computer to another program on another computer or device supporting the
protocol.
TCXO
Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator.

UDP
User Datagram Protocol is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network
protocols used for the Internet. With UDP, computer applications can send messages, in this case
referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior
communications to set up special transmission channels or data paths.
VSWR

1 Introduction
1.1 Design
The Jotron Receiver and Transmitter are State of the art fully solid state design based on a
Software-Defined Radio (SDR) concept with a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) as the core element. The
DSP provide all signal handling between the IF signal format and the analogue audio signals and vice
versa. This includes filtering, de-modulation, modulation signal leveling and more. The processor also
handles all the control signaling within the RA and TA units, and externally. The units are fully
software defined and easily upgradable with improved or new functionality. The units can be
controlled either locally or remotely via several communication protocols including Ethernet (LAN).
The RF frequencies are synthesizer controlled.

The receiver unit, RA-7203 operates as an independent receiver. The transmitter unit TA-7650
operates as an independent transmitter, but requires the power supply unit, PSU-7002 for operation
on AC power. The receiver and transmitter units may be placed in entirely different locations or
together and may also be configured as a transceiver with local operation from the front panel.
Figure 1.1, Complete Transceiver, RA-7203, TA-7650 and PSU-7002
1.5 Applications
The transmitter TA-7650 and the receiver RA-7203 can be used either as a standalone transmitter /
receiver for ground to air voice or data communication, or combined as a transceiver with RX muting
and common audio control via the interface of the Transmitter unit.
The transmitter / receiver can be operated in the following modes:
Locally as a Transceiver, with microphone and headphone connected to the front panel
connector.

3.1.5 LED Indicators -TX
LOW (yellow):
The transmitter transmits in low power, either caused by an internal failure
(SWR, Temperature, or low input voltage) or set by the user. The low power
level is adjustable.
AL (red):
Indicates that an alarm is present in the transmitter unit. Details of the alarm
will be shown on the display.
REM (green):
This LED has multiple functions. The REMOTE indicator will be lit with a
constant green colour when the transmitter is ready for remote operation.
Ready means that the keying options has been set to include keying from an
external source, and that the voice input has been set to an external source
(600 ohm line input) or VoIP.
In addition the REMOTE indicator will flash yellow each time the unit is
communicating on either of the remote interfaces (RS232, RS485, Ethernet).
STBY (yellow):
The transmitter is kept in standby, either by user input, an external signal to

the remote interface or because an alarm condition has been detected, and
the transmitter is set up as a MAIN transmitter. In standby the transmitter
will not be able to send, even if a valid key signal is input to the unit.
OUT (yellow):
Indicate that the transmitter is keyed and power is being generated, detected
at the output of the power amplifier.
SWR (red):
Indicate that the SWR on the antenna is above the threshold value (app. 3:1).
The transmitter will reduce the output power to the predefined low power
level in order to protect the output stage.

3.2.4 I/O signals general information

Many of the I/O signals on the radio units are polarity dependent. The relays used are semiconductor
type relays. Optocouplers are used when practically possible to isolate the radio equipment from
external equipment. This prevents failures caused by varying ground conditions to influence the safe
operation of the equipment.
The convention used throughout this book is to add a P after the positive side of the signal and an
N after the negative.
All input and output signals are overvoltage protected by PTC resistor and will not be damaged for
input signals up to +/- 48V.
Wherever possible the standard pairs used on an ethernet connection are used for the signals. This
allows standard ethernet Cat5e or better cables to be used as patch cables with the advantage of
getting the signals as twisted pairs within the cable. The standard pairs on a Cat5e cable are found
on: Pin 1/2, 3/6, 4/5 and 7/8.
3.2.5 LAN connector - TX (RJ45)
This connector contains the Ethernet bus and is normally connected to a switch/hub. It can also be
connected directly to a computer, using a twisted pair Ethernet cable. The pin-out of the connector is
the standard pin-out used in most IP networks.

the transmitter. It contains basic interfacing signals used for remote control, and will in many cases
be the only connector used.
When the Transmitter is connected together with a Receiver, using a standard Cat5E Transceiver
patch cable between the units (RX: REM to TX: RX connector), the Transmitter REM connector will
contain the basic functionality to control both the transmitter and the receiver.
With this cable installed, the receiver line output will be connected to the transmitter line input to
give a 2W interface to the transceiver. In addition there will be a squelch output signal available on
the transmitter REM connector.

Page 4-1
4.3 Installation into equipment cabinet
The units may be installed into a standard 19 sub-rack with a height of 3U ( 1U= 44.45 mm).
The sub-rack is divided into 84 TE units horizontally (1TE=5.08mm). The transmitter occupies 28 TE,
the PSU occupies 14TE and the receiver unit occupies 14TE.
For a transceiver this leaves a free space of 28TE available for other equipment.
Figure 4-1 shows some examples for installation into 19 sub-rack. From top to bottom the figure
shows: 6 receivers in one sub-rack, 2 transmitters with PSU in one sub-rack and 3 transmitters
without PSU (operated on DC) in one sub-rack. Jotron suggests that more space is added for better
heat dissipation, if possible.
Figure 4-1, Examples of various configurations

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 4-2
4.4 Antenna connectors
The antenna should be of good quality with regards to gain and VSWR to obtain maximum
performance. Make sure that the VSWR on the antenna is low, and that the cable from the
transmitter to the antenna is of good quality to avoid mismatch and unnecessary losses.
A cable loss of 1 dB is the same as reducing the power output of a 50W transmitter to less than 40W.
Similarly, a cable loss of 2 dB is the same as reducing the output power to less than 32W.
In areas were thunderstorms and lightning is a problem, surge arrestors should be mounted where
the antenna cables enters into the building. The arrestors should be of good quality and be capable
of handling the output power of the transmitter.
The antenna output of the transmitter is an N-type antenna connector at the back of the transmitter.
The second connector (BNC-type) is the output from the Tx antenna switch and can be used to
connect to a receiver for T/R switching to a common antenna in Transceiver configuration. This
output connector must NOT be used for TX main/standby switching.
4.5 AC and DC connectors
Refer to section 3.2.3, 3.4.2, 3.4.3 and 3.6 for voltages and connectors.

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 4-3
4.6 Remote signals
Several remote signals are available on the rear interfaces of the radio units. These signals can be
grouped into: Audio signals, Key signals, Data interface signals and other signals.
Note, for all interface signals, RJ45 connectors are used. As far as practically possible, the pairs used
on a standard Ethernet connection are used when a signal is input/output as a pair to the radio (e.g.
audio lines). For interconnections between the transmitter and receiver, and for interconnection to a
distribution panel with RJ45 connectors, standard Cat5E, Ethernet cable should be used. This is a
good quality, screened cable, with 1 to 1 connections between the two connectors.
Below is an overview of the signals available and their primary use. Refer to chapter 3.2 and 3.4 for
an overview of the different connectors.
4.6.1 Transceiver cable Transceiver operation
When the Transmitter is wired together with a Receiver as a Transceiver, the Transmitter REM
connector will also have the basic functionality for remotely controlling the receiver.
Transceiver wiring may ether be done by using a standard Cat5e computer cable with RJ45
connectors between the units (Rx-REM to Tx-RX connector) or via KRONE connection inter-wiring

Table 4-2, Transceiver, transmitter receiver interconnections
When connecting the signals on the transmitter RX connector with the signals on the receivers REM
connector, via the transceiver cable, the following functionality is added to the transmitter and
receiver:
The receiver audio line (p.3 and p.6) is input to the transmitter.
This makes receiver audio available in the transmitter headphone connector, allowing only
one plug to be used for a combined headset/microphone.
In addition a 2 wire interface to the transmitters audio input line is possible for combined
transmitter and receiver audio.
Finally, it enables monitoring of both the transmitted audio and the received audio via the
monitor output line (AUX2, p.3 and p.6) on the transmitter.
A RX Busy signal (p.5) is input to the transmitter from the receiver.

This signal signals the transmitter that the RX is busy. This is used in VDL operation.

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 4-4
A TX Busy signal (p.4) is output from the transmitter to the receiver.

This signal signals the receiver that the TX is busy (transmitting). This is used in VDL
operation, and to mute the receiver while transmitting (see table below).
A receiver alarm in/out is connected to the transmitter alarm in/out.

This enables the functionality that the complete transceiver (both receiver and transmitter
unit) will enter into alarm state if one of the units fails. This is useful if the complete
transceiver should be switched to a backup transceiver.
The RS485 serial lines from both units are connected in parallel.
This is useful to have only one connection point for the RS485 on the transceiver for remote
control.
RS485 serial bus is primarily used by the Data Remote Control unit (DRC) and Operators
Remote Control unit (ORC) to remotely set/change frequency and other parameters, on the
Receiver, Transmitter or Transceiver.

This is a input on the transmitter REM connector, pin 4. This pin, if connected to GND, will
key the transmitter.
TXKEY_P, TXKEY_N
This is a differential input, on the transmitter AUX2 connector, pin 7 and 8. A DC voltage
between 5 and 48V(+ or -) between the pins will key the transmitter.
Note also that this is a differential signal, not connected to any ground potential inside the
transmitter, therefore the signal can be configured for both positive and negative voltage
keying (see figure).

Squelch output signal that is refered to GND.
This signal can be used to detect that the receiver is busy on a connected transmitter unit, on
a remote control or any other units that can use this signal.
The signal function (Open or Closed on busy) can be configured.
SQUELCH (AUX2, p.1 and p.2)

This signal indicates that the squelch is activated / closed.
The signal function (Open or Closed on busy) can be configured.
The output is a solid state relay, rated for maximum 100V / 100mA.
AGC_HILO_P, AGC_HILO_N (AUX2, p.3 and p.6)

This signal indicates that a signal above approximately +40 dBuV is received.
This can be used to detect if the signal comes from a collocated transmitter operating on the
same frequency (Closed) or a transmission from an aircraft (Open).

AGC VOLTAGE (AUX2, p.7)

This is an analogue output 0-4V. The output voltage is 0V for an input of -111dBm and
increases linearly with the input signal up to -80dBm where the voltage reach +4V.
This signal may be used by a voting system to determine which receiver is receiving the
strongest signal from an aircraft. Also called Best Signal Selection (BBS).

4.6.5 Alarm and Select signals, transmitter and receiver
Figure 4-7, Alarm and select signals, transmitter
The Alarm output signals that the radio unit has detected an alarm internally.
The Select input is used to select or deselect (inhibit) a particular unit. By deselecting a unit, the unit
will enter into standby mode and can no longer be used for radio communication. All other
functionality remains operational when the radio is in standby mode.
The Alarm and Select pin out are equal on the transmitter and the receiver units, except for the
ALARM (REM, p.7) pin. This signal is only available on the transmitter unit and is used to signal an
alarm from either the transmitter or the receiver unit when configured as a transceiver.
ALARM_P, ALARM_N (AUX1, pin 1 and 2)

This is a differential output, used to signal that the unit is in Alarm state. Default the radio is
set up with the internal pull-up enabled (+12V).
ALARM (REM, pin 7)

Same as the signal above, but this signal is referenced to GND. Available on the transmitter
unit only. Default the internal pull-up is enabled (+12V).

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 4-12
SELECT (AUX1, pin 3 and 6)

This input is connected to an optocoupler. The SELECT requires an external voltage to
operate.
One way to use the SELECT signal is to connect it to the ALARM output signal from another
radio unit. If the ALARM signal (ALARM_P and ALARM_N) on a primary (main) radio is
connected to the SELECT_P and SELECT_N on a secondary (backup) radio, then automatic
switchover from the main to the standby radio is performed when the main radio detects an
alarm. In this mode, a pull-up (set as default) is required on the ALARM output from the
primary radio.

4.6.6 RX BUSY, KEY OUT and TX LOW POWER (GAS ALARM) (Transmitter unit)
Figure 4-8, Misc signals, transmitter
RX BUSY (SQ) (REM, pin 5) - INPUT

This signal is available when a receiver is connected to the transmitter with a Transceiver
cable (standard Cat5e computer cable) between the transmitter RX and the receiver REM
connector.
The signal is the same as the RX BUSY signal from the receiver. It is routed from the receiver
via the transceiver cable and made available for remote applications via the transmitter REM
connector. When the radio is used for VDL mode 2, this input is required to enable the
transmitter to detect when the receiver is busy.
KEY_OUT_P, KEY_OUT_N (AUX2, pin 1 and 2) - OUTPUT

This output can be used for external equipment that requires a key confirmation signal from
the transmitter. The key signal is available immediately after a key input is received via any of
the key sources.
Normally RF is produced within a few milliseconds after a key input is applied to the
transmitter, if the KEY_OUT is used for external equipment that uses a relay to switch the RFpower, it may be necessary to delay the RF output using the RF Delay software setting (see
8.2.4.2 for details) in order to prevent hot switching of the RF signal.
When a RF delay is applied, the KEY_OUT will close immediately after a key input signal is
detected, the RF power from the transmitter output stage will be delayed (according to the
setting), this allows RF switches in power amplifiers or other external equipment to settle
before RF is output from the transmitter.
The KEY_OUT signal can also be used to mute the receiver when connected to the mute
input of a receiver unit.
P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 4-14
TXLOW_P, TXLOW_N - GAS ALARM (AUX2, pin 4 and 5) - INPUT

This input is used to immediately switch the transmitter into the preconfigured low power
setting. The input requires an external pull-up to operate. The low power level must be set,
as required, in the radio menu system to ensure correct functionality. (See 8.2.4.1 for
details).
This function, also called Gas Alarm, is used when the radio is installed in an environment
where an immediate reduction in the output power is required. Specifically this is used on
offshore installations and process plants when there is an increased risk of explosion. The
input is connected to the output of an external gas detector.

By connecting the Alarm output from one (main) transmitter to the Select input on a standby
transmitter (P to P and N to N), it is possible to perform automatic switching between the units in
case of an alarm on the Main unit. When this is wired correctly between the units, the standby unit
will automatically be activated in case there is a failure on the main unit.
This configuration is used when there is a requirement for automatic main/standby switching.
The interconnection between the main and standby units must be done by either a special cable with
RJ45 connectors in each end, or using a distribution panel such as the optional KRONE adaptor board
from Jotron. (See Error! Reference source not found.)

In the AM-MSK mode the transmitter and the receiver automatically incorporates the required audio
filtering and AGC values used for ACARS operation.
The radios do not have internal modems for this use, an external modem must be interconnected
with the radio using the remote line input and output.
4.7.7 VDL mode 2 data operation (part of a VDL Ground Station)
The TA7650/RA7203, configured as a VDL transceiver, implements the lower layers of the VDL mode
2 protocol. The VDL transceiver is part of the physical layer and the media access layer (MAC). A VHF
management entity -VME (control unit) need to be connected to the VDL transceiver for full VDL
mode 2 data operation. The connection to the VME must be done using the ethernet interface on the
radio, a TCP/IP based protocol is used to communicate VDL mode 2 data packets and set-up between
the radio units and the VME.
To operate the transceiver as a VDL mode 2 ground station, the following is required:
A VHF management entity able to control the transmission and reception via independent
TCP/IP connections to the transmitter and receiver units.
The VHF management entity (VME) must support the proprietary Jotron TCP/IP protocol
described in document: VDL mode 2: TCP/IP Protocol description. This document is available
for system developers upon request.

5 Remote systems using IP

5.1 Introduction
The radio units include advanced remote control using the ethernet / LAN connectors on the radios.
Each receiver and transmitter has its own independent network connection, allowing a flexible
configuration where the transmitters and receiver can be installed separately or collocated on the
same radio site.
Figure 5-1 illustrates the protocol suite within the radio and the protocol supported in the standard
units and which can be supplied as options. VoIP and VDL mode 2 are not included in the standard
radio.

Refer to chapter 8.2.4.3 and chapter 8.3.4.3 for detailed parameter settings.
5.1.1 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
The SNMP protocol is used to remote control the radio. The radio supports SNMP v.2 with traps and
object read/write.
Using the SNMP protocol, the radio can be remotely controlled by a standard SNMP MIB browser or
by a dedicated remote control program using SNMP management. Each object in the radio has a
dedicated OID (Object Identifier) which is described in detail in the file: JOTRON-BASESTATION-MIB.
This file is available for system integrators upon request.

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 5-26
5.1.2 RTP (Real Time Protocol)

The RTP protocol is used to stream audio to/from the radio unit. The radio supports standard 64
kbit/s RTP streaming using A or u-law compression in addition to uncompressed 8-bit PCM.
The radio units also support extended header information as defined in ED-137. This allows signals
like PTT, squelch, RSSI and alarm signals to be transferred in the header of the voice packets.
Further information regarding the use of the RTP protocol is available from Jotron upon request.
5.1.3 SIP (Session Initialization Protocol)
Refer to chapter 8.2.4.3 and chapter 8.3.4.3 for detailed parameter settings.
The SIP protocol is a text based remote control protocol used to automatically initiate voice
streaming sessions in the radio. The radio support remote control using SIP as defined in ED-137.
Further information regarding the use of the SIP protocol is available from Jotron upon request.
5.1.4 HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
The radio incorporate a web-server, the web-server uses the HTTP protocol to transfer its
information to a connected computer. This allows the web-pages from the radio to be viewed in a
standard browser (Microsoft Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, etc.) by
simply typing in the IP address of the radio in the browsers navigation bar (e.g. 10.0.48.31).
5.1.5 Remote control protocol using TCP
The TCP remote protocol is a Jotron proprietary protocol available for system integrators. The TCP
remote protocol allows advanced remote control of the radios and support reading and writing of
objects. In addition the protocol supports subscription to object, this enables the radio to
automatically send objects when they are changed or at user defined intervals.
Further information regarding the use of the TCP remote protocol is available from Jotron upon
request.
5.1.6 VDL mode 2 protocol using TCP
The VDL mode 2 protocol is used to send / receive data packets over a VDL mode 2 data link. This
protocol is used to connect the radio to a VDL Management entity (VME). Using this protocol allows
VDL mode 2 system integrators to control all VDL mode 2 related parameters in the radio.
Further information regarding the use of the VDL mode 2 TCP protocol is available from Jotron upon
request.
5.1.7 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

The DCHP protocol is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks. DHCP allows the IP address
of the radio to be configured automatically. The radio must be connected to a network with a DHCP
server in order for this function to work. Alternatively, a static IP address can be configured in the
radio.

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 5-27
5.2 Applications using the IP interface

5.2.1 Introduction IP Configuration and planning
On an IP network, all units connected must be set up with a unique IP address. This unique IP address
is used by all the other network components to communicate with the unit.
A typical address plan for a simple IP based voice or remote control system is shown in the table
below. This can be used as a reference to set up a simple system on a dedicated local LAN. If routers
are involved, the system will be more complex and the default gateway must be configured in each
of the radio unit.
Note that systems like Jotrons RACS (Remote Access and Control System) uses the multicast address
of the radio to distinguish various radio sites from each other. I.e. if the radios on site no. 1 use the
multicast address 239.0.0.1 to transmit their status, the radios on site no. 2 should use 239.0.0.2 etc.
5.2.2 Controlling a transceiver using a Radio Remote Control (RRC)
By using a software based Radio Remote Control (RRC), all signalling, including voice is transferred
over the IP network. This simplifies the set-up of the radios and the interconnection between them.
The RRC use RTP for voice streaming and SIP to initiate the voice streaming to/from the radios. In
addition, the RRC uses the TCP remote control protocol to control the radios.
The radios uses 64 kbit/s audio streaming, with RTP headers and control information the total
required bandwidth of a voice channel is app. 100 kbit/s. The IP network should be dimensioned to
handle at least this bandwidth for each connected radio.

Page 5-28
5.2.3 IP configuration plan

Small IP systems is simple in nature. A certain amount of structure is required in the
planning/implementation to eliminate network problems.
It is important to make a written plan for distribution and use of the IP settings in the system. An
example of the IP configuration plan is outlined below and may be used for simple networks. If the
network is just set up for maintenance purpose, the RRCs may be omitted. Each site usually has its
own sub-net address to separate them from each other.

5.2.4 Remote Access and Control System over LAN (RACS).

RACS is a LAN based Remote Access and Control System for the Jotron series 7000 radios. The system
uses the SNMP protocol to remotely monitor the status of the radios. The user of the RACS system is
also able to control certain parameters in the radio.
The RACS system requires that the radios and the PC containing the RACS application are connected
to an IP network. If a network connection is not available between the remote radio site and the
remote control position, a modem can be used to transfer the IP packets, as illustrated in the figure
below.
Please contact Jotron for further details regarding connections between radios and a remote control
site.

5.5 Legacy wiring adaptor board P/N 82715 (optional)

When replacing an analogue TR-75xx transceiver with the new digital TR77xx
transceiver, the Legacy wiring adaptor board may be installed to use the
existing connectors used for the TR-75xx radio to connect directly with the new
radio.
The board contains the wiring between the connectors and also performs
required signal conversion between the two interfaces. Signal conversion
consists of inverting the receiver mute signal and to convert some output to a
non polarized relay output.
The legacy wiring adaptor board is fitted to the rear of the sub-rack.
The complete adaptor kit for a transceiver consists of:
2 Wiring adaptor boards (PCBs) with 2 D-sub connectors on each board.
Cat5e signal cables (Standard ethernet straight patch cables w/RJ45s) from the
transmitter and receiver to the respective adaptor board.
The kit may be used on a transceiver, transmitter or a receiver. The transmitter
and receiver part of the kit is completely independent.
5.5.1 Configuration of the interface board
The interface board needs to be configured for the correct usage. The configuration is done by
setting the links on the board to the correct position.
Alarm pull-up. This link defines whether a pull-up is enabled for the alarm output or not.
Normally this is set to on (default for RA7202 and TA74xx) this enables the +12v pull-up
signal. In order to get the alarm/select functionality between two units to function, this must
be set to ON.
RS232 / RS485. Select whether the interface to the radios are done using RS-232 or RS-485.
In most legacy systems, RS-485 is used.
Tx / Rx mode. These links defines whether the radio connected to the board is a transmitter
or a receiver.

5.5.3 Limitations
5.5.3.1 Receiver:
The AGC voltages out from the RA7202 and RA7203 are different.
The maximum output from the RA7203 is 4V and the maximum output signal from the
RA7202 is 2.5V. Because of this, voting between a new and an old radio is not possible.
AC/DC out is not implemented on RA7203. Instead AGC_HI/LO_N from the RA7203 is
available on this pin (Pin 4 of on 15 pin D-sub).
Pin 3 on the 15 pin D-sub connector was not in use by the RA7202. AGC_HI/LO_P from
RA7203 has been made available on this pin.

6.2.1 VOGAD function and use -TX

Voice Operated Gain-Adjusting Device (VOGAD), is an automatic gain control for the line input and
the microphone input. The VOGAD ensures that the maximum modulation is constant regardless of
the level of the input signal and it prevents the transmitter from being overmodulated. The VOGAD
circuit has a fast attach time to ensure that peaks in the audio input is not overmodulating the
transmitter and it has a slower decay time to prevent background noise from being boosted during
gaps in the input speech signal.
There are several settings that are relevant for the VOGAD function in the transmitter, all are located
under the Tx Config/Audio sub-menu.
The Modulation % setting adjusts the maximum modulation. This setting is used both to set the
maximum level that the VOGAD circuit will modulate the radio transmitter, and in addition it sets the
clipping level of the transmitter.
The Mic sensitivity / Line sensitivity settings set at which minimum input level full modulation is
obtained. Audio inputs above this level will be modulated with the full modulation, while lower input
signal will linearly give lower modulation on the RF output signal. Setting of the line sensitivity will
depend on the nominal input signal. It should be set at least 10 dB below the nominal input signal to
ensure full modulation for all operators. Setting the sensitivity to low will result in background noise
being boosted in silent periods. The mic sensitivity setting depends on the microphone being used.

6.2.2 Line mute level

The Line mute Level when enabled (default OFF) is used primarily for systems where there are
large gaps or silent periods in the speech signal. Specifically this may be the case for automatic voice
transmissions (VOLMET or ATIS). Setting the Line mute level prevents background noise from being
modulated when it is below the mute level set and the result is an output signal that will be more
pleasant to listen to for the users.
6.2.3 Frequency Offset (Option)
Frequency offset is optionally available for both 25kHz and 8.33 kHz channels.
Offset frequencies are available for 2,3,4 and 5 channel offsets and the offset frequencies follows the
definitions given in ICAO annex 10:

Note, when using 5 channel offset, the operating temperature range is currently limited to 0 to 40C
when using the standard TCXO in the radio.
6.2.4 In-band PTT signalling (Option in-band)
In-band signalling is optionally available in the transmitter unit. The in-band signalling is configurable
for the user with regards to the in-band frequency and the trigger level.
When available, the settings for in-band signalling are available under the TX config/key submenu.
The transmitter will automatically insert a notch filter in the audio path and enables a narrow band
signal detector at the selected in-band frequency. This prevent the in-band tone from being
transmitted and ensures that the transmitter is keyed as long as the tone is present.
The in-band frequency is selectable between 2000 and 4000 Hz and the detection level is
configurable in the range -40 to -10 dBm.
See chapter 8.2.3.2 for details on how to configure these parameters.

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 6-2
6.3 Receiver
6.3.1 Squelch system
The RA-7203 receiver incorporates a squelch system that consists of a signal/noise (S/N) squelch and
a squelch that simply detects the level of the signal.
Any combination of the two systems can be used, making it suitable to detect intelligible signals at
maximum range and at the same time block out on-channel interference from co-located
transmitters operating in and out of the operational band of the radio.
6.3.1.1 Squelch: Recommended settings
Refer to Figure 7-3 for an illustration of the settings.
For longest range performance without interference from collocated transmitters or carrier
override function (default setting):
1. Set Sq setup to Level OR S/N.
2. Set S/N SQ level to 10 dB S/N. 10 dB S/N will be a signal of moderate quality, if set below
10 dB the audio quality may be harder to intelligibly understand.
3. Set SQ override lvl to the wanted override level, e.g. 20 dBuV (-87 dBm).
The radio will now be un-muted (squelch open) for any received signal that has an S/N level higher
than 10 dB@30% modulation (or >26.5 C/N see above). The squelch will open on any signal that is
above -87 dBm regardless of the signal quality.
For signals levels above a fixed threshold, with guaranteed S/N performance
1. Set Sq setup to Level AND S/N
2. Set the S/N SQ level to the wanted threshold, e.g. 10 dB
3. Set the SQ override lvl to the wanted threshold, e.g. -101 dBm
than 10 dB@30% modulation (or >26.5 C/N see above) and where the signal level is at least above
-101 dBm. This setting prevents nearby (collocated) transmitters from opening the squelch and
guarantees that the signal has both a certain S/N quality and are at a certain level.
For longest range performance without interference from collocated transmitters:
1. Set Sq setup to S/N.
2. Set S/N SQ level to 10 dB S/N. 10 dB S/N will be a signal of moderate quality, if set below
10 dB the audio quality may be harder to intelligibly understand.
than 10 dB@30% modulation (or >26.5 C/N see above). The squelch will not open based on
interference from nearby (collocated) transmitters.
For longest range performance squelch may open at noise only:
1. Set Sq setup to Level only.
2. Adjust the SQ override lvl until noise is heard in the speaker, and then increase the level by
3 dB. Note. This adjustment must be done after the receiver is installed on the site with the
antenna connected. The noise level may vary during the day and it may be required to adjust
the trigger level higher than 3 dB.
P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 6-3
The radio will now be un-muted (squelch open) for any received signal that has a signal strength
higher than 3 dB above the background noise. Annoying squelch openings may occur if there are
nearby (collocated) transmitters.
6.3.1.2 Details regarding the squelch system to use
There are 4 different settings for the squelch system to use. The selection is done under the Rx
Config settings by selecting Sq setup. The various settings are explained below. Default setting for
the Sq setup is Level OR S/N.
Level
This setting selects that the radio receiver will be un-muted for any signal that is above the level set
by the Sq override lvl. The level squelch will not discriminate between wanted and unwanted
signals caused by on-channel interference, but will simply react to any signal that is above the
threshold. This setting is not recommended unless the receiver is located on a site with no onchannel interference (no nearby transmitters).
S/N
This setting select that the radio receiver will be un-muted for any signal where the signal/noise (S/N)
ratio is above the limit set by the S/N SQ level. Note that the S/N level that is set is the level that
will be obtained by a 30% modulated reference signal. Thus a setting of 10 dB will be the level that
is achieved with an RF signal, modulated with 30% at a certain signal strength. The RF level where the
S/N squelch triggers will not be affected by varying modulation levels (see below for further
explanation)
Level OR S/N
With this setting the radio receiver will be un-muted if either the level squelch or the S/N squelch is
triggered. This is the default setting in the radio. This setting is useful to take advantage of the S/N
squelch function, and in addition have the security that the squelch will open if the signal is large
enough (carrier override).
Level AND S/N
With this setting both conditions need to be fulfilled before the receiver is un-muted. I.e. the
receiver squelch does not open until the received signal both has the required level and it has a
certain quality.
6.3.1.3 Details regarding the functionality of the Signal/Noise (S/N) Squelch
The signal/noise squelch or actually the carrier/noise (C/N) squelch system is incorporated in the
digital audio processing part of the radio receiver. The input signal is examined for signals within and
outside the operating channel. A wanted signal will have its predominant part of the energy within
the operating channel, while unwanted noise generated by collocated transmitters will span several
channels with broadband (white) noise. In this way it is possible for the digital audio processing
system to determine if the signal is a wanted (on-channel) or an unwanted signal (noise). It is also
possible to calculate the carrier / noise level of the signal and determine if the S/N squelch should
trigger or not.
To make it easier to adjust, the adjustment of the S/N squelch in the menu is done for a reference
signal that is modulated with a 30% audio signal. The relative difference between the carrier level
and the audio sidebands for a 30% signal is 16.5 dB. I.e. a setting of 10 dB S/N actually reflects a

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 6-4
carrier/noise level of app. 26.5 dB, in other words, a setting of 10 dB S/N means that the S/N squelch
will trigger when the C/N level of the receiver is above 26.5 dB.
This means that the setting of the S/N squelch is independent of the actual modulation level of the
incoming signal and will always trigger when the carrier/noise level is above 26.5 dB.
A receiver that has a sensitivity of 10 dB S/N@-107 dBm, 30% modulation will trigger at -107 dBm if
there is no background noise that masks out the incoming signal (lab environment).
For practical installations, the background noise is usually higher, meaning that a larger input signal is
required before the squelch triggers. Using the S/N squelch feature allows the squelch to be adjusted
once and it will automatically adjust itself to various operating environments. It will even adapt to
various operating conditions that may occur during a day.
The range for the S/N squelch is 5 to 20 dB (@30%), which corresponds to a C/N between 21.5 and
46.5. In a silent operating environment this equals levels between -112 and -97 dBm.
Figure 7-2, Relation between S/N and C/N for a -107 dBm, 30% modulated signal with 10 dB S/N
6.3.1.4 Details regarding the Level squelch (Carrier override)

The carrier level squelch is a simpler variant of a squelch system. The level squelch operate strictly on
the signal strength and will open when the level detected on the channel reaches its preset value.
This occurs independently of the content of the signal and if it is an intelligent signal from a distant
transmitter, or simply noise generated by nearby transmitters.
It might be advantageous to use the level squelch combined with the S/N squelch in order to ensure
that the receiver opens at a certain level, even if the content of the received signal is distorted.
A signal from sources like Emergency Location Transmitters (ELTs) uses a modulation method that
creates a very broadband audio signal. These signals does sometimes have a character that allows
them to be detected by a level squelch only, therefore on systems that operates on the emergency
channels (121.5, 243 MHz), the level squelch should always be enabled (Level OR S/N) to ensure safe
detection of all emergency signals.
P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 6-5
Figure 7-3, Illustration of squelch S/N and squelch override settings
6.3.2 In-band Squelch signalling (Option)

The receiver may include in-band squelch signalling as an option. The in-band signalling is
configurable with regards to signalling frequencies and levels.
By using the in-band option it is possible to set one tone (user configurable) to signal that the squelch
is open and another tone to signal that the squelch is closed.
When available, the settings for in-band signalling are available under the RX config/Squelch
submenu.
The receiver will automatically insert a notch filter in the audio path and generate a tone on the
selected in-band frequency.
The in-band frequency is selectable between 300 and 5000 Hz and the levels are configurable in the
range -60 to -10 dB. Note that the in-band level is given as a relative value below the Line output
level.
See chapter 8.3.3.2 for details on how to configure these parameters.

7 Operating Instructions
7.1 Introduction
To set up the transmitter and the receiver units, several parameters may be set from the
front panel to tailor the unit for numerous applications. This section details the parameters
that are available from the unit front panel and explains the use of each parameter.
The radio units contains no manual adjustments or switch settings. All parameters can
therefore be set from the front panel or using one of the remote protocols.
There are 4 access levels that can be selected to limit the user access to certain parameters.
The local user levels can be set using one of the remote protocols or using a special key to
unlock the radio (see chapter 3.1.6 and 3.3.5). There is also a way to override the user levels,
described in the technical manual.
The user access levels are:
Restricted
Limits front panel operation to selecting preset channels and adjusting

local audio output levels and display appearance. Use this level when
the radio units are used from a remote position or in cases where the
user should be restricted to use preset channels only (1 100).
Operator
Same as restricted, but in addition the local user has full access to the
operating frequency (store and recall).
Technician
This level gives the local user access to the most used installation
specific parameters (line levels, output power, etc.) and should be
used when installing or maintaining the radio units.
SysOp
This level gives unlimited access to all parameters within the radio
units and should be used by system experts are when the radios are
located in a building with restricted access.

Note on frequency setting.

The frequency is displayed according to the procedure described in ICAO annex 10. This is a
way of setting the frequency in a mixed 8.33 and 25 kHz environment. The frequency
displayed does not always reflect the actual transmit or receive frequency but is the
frequency used to orally communicate the frequency between controllers and pilots.
Jotron radios automatically adjust to the correct bandwidth when setting a frequency as
outlined in the table below:

Set the gain (VOGAD sensitivity) for the
microphone connected to the front panel
connector.
Use this setting to increase or decrease the
gain if needed. Setting depends on
microphone used.
Set the VOGAD sensitivity of the 600 ohm
line input.
This setting determines where the VOGAD
(automatic gain control) start to operate.
Thus if it is set to -22 dBm, levels above -22
dBm will be modulated with 85% (default
setting).
For levels below -22 dBm the modulation
will decrease linearly.
Set the termination of the input line to either
OFF or 600 ohm. Normally this is set to 600
ohm, but should be set to OFF on one of the
radios, if two transmitters audio lines are
connected in parallel. This is to maintain the
600 ohm impedance on the lines.
Below this level, the line input will be muted.
Used where noisy lines are connected to the
transmitter to avoid unnecessary noise on
the produced RF signal during periods of
silence (Automatic transmissions; VOLMET,
ATIS)
Set where the monitor output signal and the
received audio (if a receiver is connected)
is routed.
Can be set to the headset connector, the
600 ohm monitor line output or both.
The TX monitor signal is the demodulated
signal detected on the output of the
transmitter.
Set the output level of the monitor signal,
relative to input TX demodulated signal.
Only applicable when the radio is keyed.

This setting delays the RF output after

keying signal is applied. It is used when the
transmitter is RF-connected to external
equipment such as T/R relays(ACU), power
amplifier or other equipment that includes
RF switchover relays.
Since the RF switching in the transmitter is
done electronically, the RF is produced in
less than 20ms (Keying delay) after the PTT
signal is detected. It could be harmful for the
externally attached equipment if the RF is
applied to early.
In order to delay the RF carrier, this
parameter should be set. A reasonable
setting should be in the order of 40-50 ms.
This RF delay comes in addition to the
Keying delay
Connects the centre pin of the line input
transformer to:
Floating: The centre pin is not

connected. If loop keying is used,
an external voltage must be
applied to pin 3 (REM connector)
in order to key the transmitter
Ground: The centre pin is

grounded. If loop keying is used,
an external voltage must be
applied to pin 3 (REM connector)
in order to key the transmitter.
+12V: A 12V DC is supplied on

pin 3(REM connector). The
transmitter can be keyed with a
relay (or equivalent) that create a
DC path on the line input pin, pin
3 and 6 (REM connector).

Set the user access level for local control.

This setting limits the availability of some
front panel menus, depending on the access
level. In order to set the access level from
the user interface, a special hardware key
must be inserted into the
microphone/headset connector. Details of
the key is available in this manual.
Set the language to use on the user
interface. Availability of different languages
depends on specifications when ordering
the transmitter.
The ALARM_OUT_P, ALARM_OUT_N
output pins on AUX1 connector and ALARM
on the REM connector is used to signal that
the radio has an alarm. This parameter
applies a +12V pull-up voltage to
ALARM_OUT_P and ALARM output when
there are no alarms present on the radio.
When an alarm is detected the relay contact
closes and ALARM_OUT_P is connected to
ALARM_OUT_N and ALARM is connected
to GND.
The SELECT_IN_P and SELECT_IN_N
input pins on AUX1 connector can be used
to select / deselect (Standby) the radio with
an external signal (e.g. alarm from a main
radio). This setting determines if the radio
should be operational on a low Select input
signal or a high Select input signal.
Set the bit rate to use on the RS485 port
Set the address to use on the RS485. In a
remote system using the RS485
communication port, all units that are
interconnected need to have a unique
address in order to avoid collisions and
misinterpretation of data.
Legacy uses a protocol where the 9. bit is
used for address recognition, this is the
protocol used on the previous radio models
(TA7450, RA7202) and is compatible with
the RACS II PC software and the
RCU/DRC/ORC remote control units.
Standard is an eight bit protocol that uses
the multi-drop capability of the RS485 bus.
For more information on protocols, refer to
the appropriate protocol documents.
Set the bit rate to use on the RS232
interface ports
IP interface address for the unit. Must be
unique on the LAN and should correspond

The exact frequency of the receiver can be
determined either by connecting a spectrum
analyzer to the antenna connector of the
receiver and measure the leakage of the LO
output (45 MHz above the operating
frequency) or by using a radio test set to
measure the bandwidth of the receiver and
adjust until centre is on the operating

In order to measure the RSSI level exactly,

there is a provision to calibrate the reading.
Normally the reading is within +/-2 dB
without calibration, but it can be useful if to
signals are being compared.
Determines to which port data received with
the VDL2 waveform is output
If the station ID is set different from the
default value (0) the radio will filter all
incoming messages, and only output those
messages that are addressed for the
specific ground station ID.
(Broadcast messages are always received
and output on the interface)
Used to set a provider code that is used to
filter out messages to all ground stations of
a particular provider. Set to default (0xffffff)
to enable all providers.
Defines the format of the VDL2 output
message using the TCP/IP connection.
BER message: The receiver omits

FEC and bit destuffing. Messages
are output as raw data. Used to
test conformance to EN301481-1
tests.
Single AVLC: Messages are

output as single AVLC frames
Multiple AVLC: Messages are

output as multiple AVLC frames
(up to 7 in each message)
The interval on which the CU value
(Channel utilization) is sent to the host over
the tcp connection.
The CU is calculated for the time period set,
i.e. If set to 15 the CU will reflect the
average channel utilization for the past 15s.
Default (0) means that the CU trap is
switched off.
Determinates if the receiver is muted (no
output) during transmissions from own TX. If
set to Off, own generated messages will be
detected and output on the TCP/IP
connection. The filters above (Station ID and
Provider Code) will not have any effect on
own messages.
Writing a 1 to this parameter will reset the
receiver and restore the settings that where
set before shipping from the factory. Use
with care all settings that has been
changed will be reset!

Set the user access level for local control.

This setting limits the availability of some

order to set the access level from the user
interface, a special hardware key must be
inserted into the microphone/headset

technical manual.
Set the language to use on the user
interface. Availability of different languages
depends on specifications when ordering
the receiver.
The ALARM_OUT_P, ALARM_OUT_N
output pins on AUX1 connector and ALARM
on the REM connector is used to signal that
the radio has an alarm. This parameter
applies a +12V pull-up voltage to
ALARM_OUT_P and ALARM output when
there are no alarms present on the radio.
When an alarm is detected the relay contact
closes and ALARM_OUT_P is connected to
ALARM_OUT_N and ALARM is connected
to GND.
The SELECT_IN_P and SELECT_IN_N
input pins on AUX1 can be used to select /
deselect (Standby) the radio with an
external signal (e.g. alarm from a main
radio). This setting determines if the radio
should be operational on a low select input
signal or a high select input signal.
Set the bit rate to use on the RS485 port
Set the address to use on the RS485. In a
remote system using the RS485
communication port, all units that are
interconnected need to have a unique
address in order to avoid collisions and
misinterpretation of data.
The protocols are described in the data
manual.
Legacy uses a protocol where the 9. bit is
used for address recognition, this is the
protocol used on the previous radio models
(TA7450, RA7202) and is compatible with
the RACS II PC software and the RCU
remote control unit.
Standard is an eight bit protocol that uses
the multidrop capability of the RS485 bus.
For more information on protocols, refer to
the SW manual.
Set the bit rate to use on the RS232

8 Failures and corrective actions

8.1 Alarms
When the internal BITE (Built In Test Equipment) in the transmitter or the receiver units detects a
failure, the Alarm LED on the front panel of the unit will be lit. In addition the radio unit will signal
with an automatically generated SNMP trap message on the Ethernet interface and close the two
internal alarm relays to signal an alarm condition to external equipment.
Details about the alarm conditions are accessible in the Bite systems menu.
The Alarm and alert messages are available in two levels. First level indicates the module that has the
failure, if appropriate. The next level(s) gives more details about the problem that caused the alarm
condition.
The measurements that generate alarms are indicated by alarm limits in table 8.3.4.4 for the receiver
and table 8.2.4.4 for the transmitter
8.2 Alerts
Prior to some alarm conditions, and alert is sent as an SNMP trap message on Ethernet to the CMS
system. Details about the alert conditions are also accessible in the Bite systems menu for user
access levels: SysOp and Technician.
The measurements that generate alerts are indicated by alert limits in table 8.3.4.4 for the receiver
and table 8.2.4.4 for the transmitter
8.3 System components
In the following (LRU) refers to the Lowest Replaceable Unit and is normally the first line
maintenance where the complete unit is replaced. (LRM) refers to the Lowest Replaceable Module
and is the module within the unit that can be replaced. The LRM level normally requires a well
equipped workshop with appropriate tools for testing and calibration.

9 Maintenance
9.1 Preventive Maintenance
Jotron have made suggestions for a preventive maintenance schedule based on customer
requirements. For details please refer to the Jotron Preventive maintenance procedure (Refer to
section 12).
9.2 PC utilities
The radios are accessible via IP and supports SNMP. This gives reading access to all of the parameters
in the radios. In addition most parameters may be set as well. To use the IP based utilities, the
service PC need to be configured within the same sub-network as the radios. See IP planning above
for details.
9.2.1 Radio Controller client

Jotron has made a Radio Controller Client that gives remote access to most of the parameters that
are accessible from the radio front panel main menu. This is software that is installed on a PC with a
user-friendly interface toward the radios. With this tool you can access several radios at the same
time to make comperance on settings and BITE readout. You can also open several displays to the
same radio to monitor BITE and control the radio at the same time. The communication from the
radios to the radio controller client is based on multicast messages. Multicast messages are usually
blocked in a router, but may be forwarded. The tool is therefore most suitable for local operation on
site.
Jotron AS| TR7750: Operators handbook 8BMaintenance

P/N: 84496 (v.E)
Page 9-1
9.2.2 MIB-browser
The MIB browser gives read access to all parameters in the radios, you can set most of them and you
can log parameter values over time. It has a higher user thrash hole that the Radio Controller client
and it is most suitable for qualified or especially interested maintenance personnel. Shareware
software, installed on a PC, may be used. In addition to the MIB browser software, you also need the
latest Jotron MIB database with information on the various parameters. The MIB browser is not
limited by routed networks like the Radio controller client is.
9.2.3 IP-Ping
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability (IP connectivity) of a
host(radio) on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages
sent from the originating host(PC) to a destination hoste (radio). The results of the test are printed in
form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including the minimum, maximum,
and the mean round-trip times.
Ping may be run using various options (command line switches) depending on the implementation
that enable special operational modes, such as to specify the packet size used as the probe,
automatic repeated operation for sending a specified count of probe-packages and more.
Ping is run from the CMD prompt on a Windows computer.
