CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
This document is written as an introduction to Codan MT-4E Analog and P25 Digital Radio Systems.
The document assumes the reader is familiar with conventional Two-Way Radio Communications
systems.
Project 25 is a standards initiative, to be amended, revised and added to as the users identify issues
and as experience is gained.
M O D EL NUMBERS
Daniels Electronics Ltd. has manufactured radio systems for more than 60 years. In the early years,
Daniels manufactured AM and SSB radiotelephones for the marine industry, and more recently, the MT
series of radios for mountain top repeaters and base station applications. Codan Radio Communications
continues to manufacture the MT series of Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems.
MT-2
The MT-2 series of radio modules were originally manufactured in the 1980s. This radio series was a
crystal controlled analog radio system capable of wideband (25 KHz) operation. Although systems are
still in operation throughout North America, this series of radio modules was discontinued in the 1990s
and is no longer supported.
MT-3
The MT-3 series of radio modules were originally manufactured in the early 1990s. This radio series
was available with both crystal controlled and synthesized analog radio modules capable of wideband
(25 KHz) or narrowband (12.5 KHz) operation. The MT-3 radio modules were discontinued in 2006,
with the exception of the VHF Lowband and AM products. For more information on the MT-3 series of
radios, see the Codan MT-3 Analog Radio Systems User Guide.
Chapter 1: Introduction Page 1

MT-4
The MT-4 series of radio modules entered production during 2001. This radio series is the P25
compliant digital narrowband radio system, capable of analog (wideband and narrowband) or P25
digital operation.
As the MT-4 P25 products evolved, the hardware, firmware and software of the radio modules changed.
In order to define these changes, the MT-4 product line is further described as:
MT-4R
The MT-4R series of P25 radios were manufactured from 2001 until the end of 2003.
MT-4D
The MT-4D series of P25 radios were manufactured from 2003 until the middle of 2006.
MT-4E
The MT-4E series are the current line of Analog and P25 modules.
A N A LO G ONLY OR ANAL OG / P2 5 D IGITAL FIR M WAR E

The MT-4E radio modules are embedded with firmware that allows analog operation only. When
the P25 firmware upgrade is purchased, the MT-4E family of receivers and transmitters may be
configured for P25 digital operation, analog operation, or mixed mode operation.
All P25 digital information contained in this User Guide require the P25 firmware upgrade to function.
The P25 firmware upgrade can be purchased from the factory when ordering, or can be easily added
in the future by the customer.

Hardware
The hardware is the radio module itself. The MT-4E Receiver module hardware is comprised of the
Receiver Mainboard, the Synthesizer Module, the RF Preselector, and the Universal Daughter Board
(UDB). An optional Decryption Board can be installed in the Receiver. The MT-4E Transmitter module
hardware is comprised of the Transmitter Mainboard, the Synthesizer Module, RF Power Amplifier and
Universal Daughter Board (UDB). An optional Encryption Board can also be installed in the Transmitter.
Firmware
The firmware is the programming that is contained within the radio module. The firmware resides within
the DSP (located on the UDB) and is programmed at the factory. The RSS programming software can
read the firmware version number of MT-4E modules.
Software
The Radio Service Software or RSS is used to program features and options. The RSS programs
RF frequencies, modes of operation (analog, digital or mixed mode), CTCSS, NACs, etc. The RSS
connects to a radio module using a type A to 5 pin mini-type B USB cable. USB drivers are installed
from the RSS CD the first time a Receiver or Transmitter is connected.

CHAPTER 2: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FR O NT PANEL RJ4 5 CON N EC TOR J AC K

Codan MT-4E Radio Equipment uses RJ45 jacks on the Receiver, Transmitter and controller cards. The
jacks are used to connect the Receiver to the controller and the controller to the Transmitter through
RJ45 interconnection cables. The interconnection cables carry Low Voltage Differential Signaling
(LVDS) serial data as well as analog and digital COR and PTT signals. The RJ45 interconnection cables
are specific to Codan Radio Communications equipment. Do not use Ethernet or other manufacturers
cables.
The jacks are also used to connect to a Motorola® KVL 3000, KVL 3000 PLUS or KVL 4000 key loader,
which loads encryption keys in the Receiver and Transmitter encryption modules. This connection
uses a custom Codan cable from the key loader to the receiver and transmitter modules.
Chapter 2: Technical Information Page 7

LV D S S ERIAL DATA
Codan MT-4E radio modules use Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) serial data to communicate
between receiver, controller and transmitter modules.
A conventional analog repeater uses analog audio to communicate between the different modules.
Codan MT-4E radio systems use serial data between modules to allow for a completely transparent
digital path between the modules. This means that all digital information is passed through the repeater
system quickly and completely intact.
When an MT-4E Receiver receives a P25 digital transmission, the receiver samples the incoming
information and then creates an LVDS serial data stream (of 257.8 kbps) that contains the same
information as the Common Air Interface (with some overhead data). When an MT-4E Receiver
receives an analog transmission, the receiver samples the incoming information and then creates a
serial data stream (of 257.8 kbps) of the analog information. The incoming frequency and deviation
is converted to serial data through an A/D converter. The MT-4E Transmitter uses this information to
recreate the P25 digital or analog transmission.
E N C RY PTION
The MT-4E Receiver and Transmitter may be purchased with optional DES-OFB / AES encryption
modules installed that will allow decoding and encoding of secure communications. The encryption
modules are required at a base station only, and are not required to repeat an encrypted signal.
C H A N N EL SWIT CHING RAN GE

Although the receiver or transmitter channels can be programmed for any frequency in their band, the
Maximum Switching Range of the module must not be exceeded or the module will require hardware
re-tuning. The maximum switching range of the Receiver modules is +/- 2 MHz (136 - 520 MHz) or
Unlimited (768 - 960 MHz), and the Transmitter modules are Unlimited, unless the VSWR Alarm is used
(+/- 0.5 MHz for VSWR Alarm). For example, a VHF receiver may be programmed for any frequency
between 136 to 174 MHz, but the front end helical filter has a typical pass band of 5 MHz, requiring re-
tuning if two frequencies are used that are outside of that pass band.
Page 8 Chapter 2: Technical Information

M I X E D MODE OPERATION
Mixed mode operation is used to allow the receivers and transmitters to work in either analog or P25
digital mode without reprogramming the radio.
A mixed mode receiver will receive the incoming FM or C4FM transmission and will automatically detect
and demodulate the signal to an analog or P25 digital signal. The receiver will then output either an
analog or digital COR signal, as well as the appropriate serial data. A mixed mode transmitter will
accept the incoming serial data and analog or digital PTT and will modulate the signal as either FM or
C4FM, based on its input. This allows the repeater to repeat both analog and P25 digital signals.
U P GRADING FIRMWAR E VER SION S

Codan Radio Communications allows customers to upgrade the firmware of their MT-4E Receivers and
Transmitters via the Firmware Flashing Software and Firmware Upgrade files, available at the Codan
website www.codanradio.com under Support - Software & Firmware.
A type A to 5 pin mini-type B USB cable is used to connect the USB port of an IBM compatible computer
to the USB port on the front panel of the Receiver or Transmitter module.
It is not necessary to upgrade the firmware if the equipment is installed and is operating satisfactory. A
firmware upgrade is typically only needed to fix minor software bugs or to upgrade the functionality of
the equipment.
Firmware versions earlier than 1.6.0 must be returned to the factory for upgrading. Contact the Codan
service department for more information.
Table 2-1 shows the firmware versions for MT-4E modules.

R E P EAT ING DIGITAL S IGN AL S

A P25 digital signal is received and retransmitted by the repeater completely intact. The digital codes
such as TGID, Source ID, Destination ID, Algorithm ID, Key ID, etc. all pass transparently through the
repeater system.
The TGID and Unit ID programmed into the transmitter are normally overwritten with the incoming TGID
and Source ID when the transmitter is used in a repeater. The TGID and Unit ID are only transmitted
when the transmitter is keyed in a non-repeater mode (no input from the receiver) or in a repeating
mode using the analog audio repeat path (where all digital information is stripped off from the receiver).
A non-repeater mode would include keying by the front panel microphone or base station keying (eg.
from a tone remote).
The Network Access Code (NAC) does not normally pass transparently through the repeater. NACs
are similar to analog CTCSS tones. The NAC is typically programmed into the receiver and transmitter
independently, allowing the user to program different receive and transmit NACs. To pass the NAC
through the repeater transparently, program the receiver with the special NAC $F7F. This will allow any
incoming NAC to unsquelch the receiver and will overwrite the NAC programmed into the transmitter
with the incoming NAC, allowing transparent operation.
Status Symbols are not passed through the repeater transparently. Status Symbols are changed by the
repeater to indicate inbound channel status (busy). In Base Station mode the Status Symbols are set
to show unknown status of the inbound channel. Status Symbols are not programmable.
Talk Groups are typically used in subscriber units, but a repeater could also be programmed as part of
a Talk Group. The receiver can be programmed to unsquelch on a specific NAC and TGID.
NOTE: If the receiver is programmed for use in a Talk Group, the NAC of that receiver must not be
set to $F7E or $F7F, as the NAC unsquelch will take precedence over the TGID and the
receiver will unsquelch on any incoming NAC (ignoring the TGID programmed setting).
Encrypted (AES or DES-OFB) voice signals will pass transparently through the repeater.
Packet Data Units (confirmed or unconfirmed data messages) such as Over The Air Rekeying (for
encrypted systems) and GPS position information will pass transparently through the repeater.
For a more detailed explanation of the P25 protocol, signaling and terminology, please see the Codan
P25 Training Guide.


CHAPTER 3: MT-4E RADIO SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
R E P EAT ER OPERAT ION

WI R EL INE CONT ROL
The MT-4E modules have a 600 ohm balanced input / output for use with analog audio. The receiver
modules also have a parallel analog audio output that is used to drive the speaker built in to the
System Regulator module. To connect the analog audio from the receiver / transmitter modules to an
external device (such as a tone remote adapter), the analog audio is routed through a CI-BC-4E base
controller.
The RJ45 cables are connected directly from the receiver to the transmitter for the repeat path, and all
external analog audio, COR and PTT routing is through the base controller auxiliary inputs and outputs.
Figure 3-3 shows an MT-4E repeater system configured for wireline control.

Figure 3-3: MT-4E Repeater System with Wireline Control
The Telex DSP-223 tone-remote adapter provides the means of remotely controlling Codan base stations
and repeaters. The adapters can be used in conjunction with tone-remote control consoles which use
the industry-standard sequential tone keying format. The DSP-223 adapters are interconnected to the
distant remote control console(s) by any analog voice grade transmission medium such as a microwave
link, a leased telephone line, or a twisted-pair 600-ohm line.
Alternate Configuration (Using Analog Audio)

Optionally, the user could set the repeat path through the base controller, and disconnect the RJ45
cable repeat path. The repeat path through the controller uses analog audio (not serial data as the
RJ45 cables use). The analog audio repeat path is slower than the RJ45 path, and does not pass
digital information (such as NAC, TGID, encryption and data packets) through the repeater.

A N A LO G CONTROL L ED B ASE STATION OPER ATION

The MT-4E modules operate in P25 clear mode or analog mode and may have optional DES-OFB /
AES encryption modules installed in the receiver and transmitter to operate in P25 encrypted mode.
The MT-4E modules are used with a CI-BC-4E base controller in order to properly connect the analog
audio from the receiver / transmitter modules to an external device (such as a tone remote adapter).
The base controller also has the ability to clear the encryption keys in the receiver and transmitter
through a “Zeroize Key” button on the front of the base controller. No other module has the capability
to zeroize encryption keys. Figure 3-4 shows an MT-4E analog controlled base station with a tone
remote adapter.

Figure 3-4: MT-4E Analog Controlled Base Station
The MT-4E modules used in a base station configuration may also be configured as a P25 clear mode /
analog mode base station with repeat capability. See Repeater Operation with External Analog Wireline
Control section for more information.
An analog controlled base station is compliant with the P25 Analog Fixed Station Interface (AFSI).

PA GI NG SYSTEM OPER ATION

The MT-4E modules may be configured to operate in digital and/or analog paging configurations, such
as base station paging, remote paging or simulcast paging using the CI-PM-3 paging modulator. The
CI-PM-3 is configured via the front panel switches and internal jumper settings.
The CI-PM-3 paging modulator supports both analog and digital paging formats, and can transmit
POCSAG and other 2-level modulation schemes at transfer rates of 512, 1200 and 2400 baud. It can
also be configured for use as a data repeater, whereby 2-level paging data is recovered, re-shaped and
then re-transmitted to an additional repeater/paging transmitter.
The CI-PM-3 supports 4-level modulation formats at data transfer rates up to 6400 bps. Each of the
four modulation deviation levels can be independently set, making the CI-PM-3 suitable for use in such
pager signaling schemes as Motorola’s FLEX™ paging protocol.
The receiver, transmitter and CI-PM-3 paging modulator are shown in Figure 3-5.

The CI-PM-3 uses an on-board frequency reference source consisting of a 10 MHz OCXO with
a frequency stability of +/- 0.35 ppm from -30 C to +60 C. For high stability applications (such as
Simulcast), the CI-PM-3 paging modulator may be configured to use an external high stability reference
source (i.e. rubidium, GPS or WWV) with a standard stability greater than or equal to 0.002 ppm, to
discipline the on-board phase-locked loop OCXO oscillator.
The CI-PM-3 has a current draw of less than 250 mA.

D I G I TA L ETHERNET BAS E STATION OPER ATION

The MT-4E modules may be configured to operate as a digital Ethernet controlled base station using
the UIC-4-00 Universal Interface Card (UIC). The UIC supports the DFSI as published in the P25
standard document TIA-102.BAHA. The UIC provides a fully end-to-end digital link between consoles
and subscriber units and supports analog-mode calls as well as P25 calls. The UIC transports digital
P25 audio data packets (IMBE™) between the console and the transmitter and receiver radio modules
without any conversion to or from baseband audio. This Ethernet interface allows digital signals (such
as NAC, TGID, Source ID) to be passed through the network to and from web based applications and
digital consoles. Figure 3-6 shows the UIC card used in the fixed station Ethernet interface system.

The UIC uses Codan LVDS serial data to transport digital information between the UIC and the receiver
and transmitter modules. This preserves a fully end-to-end digital link, including audio encryption.
Analog voice is carried via the DFSI as digitized u-law pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio data.
The UIC supports all of the following features:
• Audio Reception and Transmission using IMBE™ (P25) or u-law PCM (analog).
• Passes all received P25 data to the console (NAC, TGID, MFID, ALGID, KID, etc.).
• Full end-to-end digital encryption if supported by the console and subscribers.
• Outbound audio buffering when transmitting P25 mode calls, with a programmable buffer length.
• Channel and Bank control of receiver and transmitter modules (2 banks of 16 channels each).
• Detect the mode (analog or P25) of an inbound call on the receiver and report to the console.
• Receiver squelch selection (muted or unsquelched) controlled by the console.
• Monitors the states of the transmitter’s forward and reverse alarm signals and report to the console.
• Clear the encryption keys from all encryption-equipped radio modules through the UIC’s front panel
Zeroize Key push button or from the console.
• Control and monitoring of 8 digital general purpose input and output (GPIO) signals from the console.
The 4 inputs are 10 mA max., 0 to +1 Vdc low / +2 to +13.8 Vdc high. The 4 outputs are 20 mA max.,
0 Vdc low / +5 Vdc high.
• Control and monitoring of 8 analog GPIOs for use with external equipment. The 4 inputs are 0 to +3.3
Vdc, 3 k impedance. The 4 outputs are 20 mA max., 0 to +3.3 Vdc.
• Monitoring power supply voltage levels and reporting to the console.
• Programmable simplex mode operation.
• Local repeating under the control of the console, or automatically when the UIC is not connected to
a console.
• Current draw of 128 mA maximum.

CHAPTER 4: MT-4E RADIO SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAMS
This chapter contains sample block diagrams of P25 mixed mode repeater and base station systems.
These blocks are shown to give a basic understanding of the signal flow through a Codan repeater
or base station. Although mixed mode systems are shown, analog only or P25 digital only can be
programmed in the receiver or transmitter.
Chapter 4: MT-4E Radio System Block Diagrams Page 19

R E P E AT ER BL OCK DIAGR AM
Figure 4-1 shows a block diagram of an MT-4E mixed mode repeater system using a CI-RC-4L or CI-
RC-4M-G2 repeater controller.
The incoming FM or C4FM transmission is routed through the RF Preselector where the RF signal:
• is filtered with a high selectivity multiple pole, helical resonator or ceramic filter
• is amplified through a low noise amplifier
• is filtered again by a low pass, high pass or band pass filter
• is mixed, with a local oscillator supplied by the synthesizer
• produces an IF frequency of 21.4 MHz (136 - 520 MHz) or 73.35 MHz (768 - 960 MHz) that is output
to the Receiver Mainboard.
The Receiver Mainboard processes the low level 21.4 MHz or 73.35 MHz IF signal from the RF
Preselector through selective crystal filtering and IF amplification. The signal is then passed through the
IQ Demodulator and Digitizing Stage for demodulation to two quadrature-related baseband outputs.
These outputs are represented in a digital stream which is passed to the UDB Board, where DSP
techniques are used to further process the incoming sampled signal to detect and extract P25 digital
voice signals and analog voice signals and is then routed through either the analog or P25 digital
settings programmed into the receiver.
Analog signal settings include:

• CTCSS or DCS decoding
• de-emphasis or flat audio selection
• wide or narrowband selection
P25 digital settings include NAC and/or TGID decoding.
The digitally sampled analog or P25 digital signal is then split and routed out of the receiver as both
LVDS serial data out the front panel and analog audio out the subrack / motherboard. If a P25 digital
signal is sent out as analog audio, the signal must first be de-vocoded before it can be converted to
analog audio. An analog or digital COR signal is also routed out the front panel.
The analog and digital COR signals and LVDS serial data are then routed through the repeater controller
(CI-RC-4L Repeater Controller or CI-RC-4M-G2 Multiple Link Controller) and are sent to the transmitter
as analog and digital PTT signals and LVDS serial data.
The transmitter will accept the incoming LVDS serial data and route it through the analog or P25 digital
settings programmed into the transmitter. Analog signal settings include:
• CTCSS or DCS encoding
• pre-emphasis or flat audio selection
P25 digital settings include NAC encoding (unless the receiver is set to a NAC of $F7F to pass the NAC
through the repeater).
The digitally sampled analog or P25 digital signal is then converted back to a baseband signal and is
then modulated as either an FM or C4FM transmission based on the analog or digital PTT input. The
modulated carrier is then amplified by the RF Power Amplifier sub-module.
The analog audio input to the transmitter is not used in a repeater configuration.

• is amplified through a low noise amplifier
• is filtered again by a low pass, high pass or band pass filter

techniques are used to further process the incoming sampled signal to detect and extract P25 digital
voice signals and analog voice signals and is then routed through either the analog or P25 digital
settings programmed into the receiver.
Analog signal settings include:

• CTCSS or DCS decoding
• de-emphasis or flat audio selection
P25 digital settings include NAC and/or TGID decoding.
The digitally sampled signal is then converted back to baseband and then routed out of the receiver as
analog audio out the subrack / motherboard to the base controller. If a P25 digital signal is sent out as
baseband analog audio, the signal must first be de-vocoded before it can be converted to baseband
analog audio. MT-4E receivers may have an optional AES / DES-OFB decryptor module.
The analog audio is then routed through the base controller (CI-BC-4E Base Controller) and is sent
to the auxiliary audio output for connection to an external device such as a tone remote adapter. The
auxiliary audio input from the external device is routed through the base controller and is sent to the
transmitter. Internal audio levels between the receiver, base controller and transmitter are typically set
at -8.0 dBm for 60% of maximum modulation. Independent audio level controls in the base controller
allow the auxiliary input and output levels to be adjusted separately (default is 0 dBm for 60% maximum
modulation). For external control, the CI-BC-4E also has optically isolated COR and PTT inputs and
outputs for connecting external equipment with high voltage control signals such as E&M.
The transmitter will accept the incoming analog audio, convert it to a digitally sampled signal, and
then route it through the analog or P25 digital settings programmed into the transmitter. Analog signal
settings include:
• CTCSS or DCS encoding
• pre-emphasis or flat audio selection
P25 digital settings include NAC, TGID and Unit / Source ID encoding. MT-4E transmitters may have
an optional AES / DES-OFB encryptor module. The signal is then converted back to a baseband signal
and is then modulated as either an FM or C4FM transmission based on the analog or digital software
settings, or the front panel switch. The modulated carrier is then amplified by the RF Power Amplifier
sub-module.

Figure 4-3 shows a block diagram of an MT-4E digital or analog paging transmitter using a CI-PM-3
Paging Modulator Card.
The paging encoder can be connected to the CI-PM-3 through auxiliary connections on the subrack /
motherboard or through a front panel DB-15 located on the front panel of the paging modulator card.
The analog / digital select control line of the paging encoder is fed to the transmitter and is used to
control the signal path in the transmitter.
Analog audio is fed directly through the paging card to the balanced audio input of the transmitter.
The incoming paging data from the paging encoder is connected to the appropriate 2 or 4 level input.
These signals are fed to control circuits that will turn on or off the appropriate pre-set control voltages,
which are then routed to the modulation input of a high stability reference oscillator (OCXO). The
modulated 10 MHz signal is fed to the reference in put of the transmitter’s synthesizer. A component
of the digital page is also sent to the modulation input of the transmitter synthesizer through the direct
modulation input of the transmitter.
If the system requires a great amount of frequency stability, as required in simulcast transmissions, an
external high stability reference can be connected to the external reference input of the paging card.
The reference signal in combination with the paging cards phase lock loop (PLL) circuit will condition
the OCXO to +/-0.002ppm.

The main power input (+10 to +17 Vdc; +13.8 Vdc nominal) connector is located at the back of the
subrack, on the motherboard. There is an identical +9.5 Vdc power output connector on the motherboard
that is used to power other Codan equipment at +9.5 Vdc (the CI-RC-4M-G2 controller for example).
NOTE: Do not connect the main power input to the +9.5 Vdc power output connector, as a transient
suppressor (over voltage protection) will short to ground to protect the equipment.
Reverse voltage protection and over voltage protection (transient suppressor) is provided at the main
power input as well as the +9.5 Vdc line. The main power input is protected with a standard fast-blow
15 amp fuse. These components may require replacing if the power supply is not connected properly,
or even after a power surge or a lightning strike. The two transient suppressors have different voltage
ratings for the main power input and +9.5 Vdc lines. Figure 6-3 shows the subrack / motherboard rear
view.
Page 40 Chapter 6: Radio System Components

Channel and Bank Selection

The MT-4E radio modules are capable of 16 channel operation in 2 banks (32 channels total). The 16
channels are controlled via four CSEL signal lines connected to each receiver and transmitter module.
The CSEL signal lines are set as either a 0 (0 Vdc) or a 1 (+9.5 Vdc). Table 6-1 shows the channel
selected for the CSEL input settings.
Table 6-1: Channel Selection Settings

The Receiver and Transmitter Bank A/B select lines are set as either a B (0 Vdc) or an A (+9.5 Vdc).
The logic for the Bank A/B select lines is different from the CSEL signal lines. If the Bank A/B select line
is pulled high (+9.5 Vdc), or left floating, Bank A is selected. If the Bank A/B select line is pulled low (0
Vdc), Bank B is selected.
There are 3 different ways to change the channel and bank of a transmitter / receiver module:
1 The user can set jumpers mounted on the motherboard for each Channel Select signal line
(set of four for each Tx / Rx module) and Bank A/B select line. These jumpers can be used to
permanently set a subrack slot at a specific channel and bank.
• Jumpers can be set for 0 (0 Vdc) “down” or 1 (+9.5 Vdc) “up”.
• Pull-up resistor jumpers to +9.5 Vdc must be installed.
2 CSEL signal lines and Bank A/B select lines can be controlled externally by a tone remote
adapter, a CI-RC-4M-G2 multiple link controller, or other third party devices.
3 Sixteen-position rotary select switches mounted on the CI-BC-4E base controller can control the
CSEL lines and toggle switches can control the Bank A/B select line. Optionally the CI-RC-4L
repeater controller can have a rotary switch added for control of the CSEL signal lines.
The pull-up resistor jumpers to +9.5 Vdc must be removed and all channel select and bank select
jumpers must be installed in the 1 or “up” position for both external control and rotary switch control of
channel selection. The locations of the channel select and pull-up jumpers are shown in Figure 6-3.

Antenna Relay Activation

The motherboard on the subrack contains a set of jumpers that are used to activate the optional antenna
relays in the System Regulator module from the Transmitter PTT IN and PTT OUT signal lines. Figure

Simplex Operation
The motherboard on the subrack contains a set of jumpers that are enabled when the radio system is
operated in simplex mode (simplex base station or simplex links). The jumper connects the Transmitter
PTT OUT signal line to the RX MUTE. This jumper will cause the receiver to mute when the transmitter
is keyed.

Auxiliary Connectors
The motherboard on the subrack has three auxiliary connectors available, a DB25 connector for direct
connection to a Telex DSP-223 or IP-223, a DB25 connector for direct connection to a CI-RC-4M-G2
Multiple Link Controller and a 96 pin connector typically used to connect to the A-PNL-AUX96-3.
DB25 Connector to DSP-223 or IP-223

Connector J10 is a female DB25 connector which can be used for basic base connections. When
connected to a Telex DSP-223 or IP-223, a standard straight-through male-to-male DB25 extender
cable can be used with some motherboard jumper changes. The IP-223 also requires that 2 pins on
the DB25 (PTT COM - pin2 and MON COM - pin 16) are wired to ground for proper operation.
WARNING: JU108 must be configured correctly for DSP-223 or IP-223 or damage can occur.
JU108 A for +13.8 Vdc / DSP-223 or JU108 B for Rx A COR / IP-223
DB25 Connector to CI-RC-4M-G2

Connector J12 is a female DB25 connector which can be used for connecting audio, channel select and
control signal lines to a CI-RC-4M-G2 (second generation) multiple link controller. When connecting to
a CI-RC-4M-G2, a standard straight-through male-to-male DB25 cable can be used.
A-PNL-AUX96-3 Auxiliary Connector

An optional component that can be added to the subrack is the A-PNL-AUX96-3 Auxiliary Connector.
The auxiliary connector mounts on the back wrap-around cover of the subrack and connects to the
auxiliary connector on the motherboard. The A-PNL-AUX96-3 brings all of the auxiliary connector
signal lines out to screw terminals for easy connection. These connections are ideal for interfacing
external equipment and allowing easy access for testing and tuning points. The A-PNL-AUX96-3
Auxiliary Connector and the back wrap-around cover are shown in Figure 6-4.

Figure 6-4: Auxiliary Panel Diagram

A close-up view of the auxiliary connector label, as shown in Figure 6-5, indicates the short signal name
for each connection point. Definitions for these signals can be found in the SR-39-1 subrack manual.
Extra General Purpose Input / Output connectors (GPIO) that can be used for different functions
depending on the control card are listed to the right of the connectors. For example, the CI-BC-4E base
controller uses these lines for auxiliary audio inputs / outputs and auxiliary COR / PTT connections.
The CI-PM-3 paging modulator uses these signal lines for connecting A/D select lines, 2-level and
4-level data, etc. The custom functions of these connectors will be marked in the blank space next to
the signal name.

S Y S T EM REGULATOR
The SM-3 system regulator is a plug-in module which provides voltage regulation, system metering and
audio monitoring for an MT-4E radio system. The SM-3 includes the following features:
• High current +9.5 Vdc voltage regulator with an anti-latchup hysteresis circuit.
• Front panel switch selectable meter outputs to check supply voltages, regulated voltages, etc.
• Audio amplifier and loudspeaker.
• Relay drivers for optional antenna relays.
There are several different models of System Regulators as shown in Figure 6-6. The basic SM-3 is
the same size as a transmitter or receiver module. The System Regulator can also be purchased with
1 or 2 optional antenna relays.

Backwards Compatibility
The SM-3 System Regulator is a direct replacement for the SM-3 System Monitor, however, the rotary
switch positions for the front panel test points have been changed.
The simplex mode jumpers to connect the Transmitter PTT OUT signal line to the RX MUTE are now
located on the new motherboard, but the System Regulators still contain the simplex mode jumpers for
backwards compatibility with older motherboards.

System Regulator Testing

The System Regulator module is designed with a convenient and easy test point built in to the front
panel. This test point allows a technician access to the DC supply and regulated voltages. Simply
connect a standard Digital Volt Meter (DVM) to the METER jacks on the front panel of the System
Regulator as shown in Figure 6-7. Turn the rotary switch to the desired position to measure the supply
voltage, regulated voltage or audio output as shown in Table 6-2. Note that the RSSI requires a carrier
and the audio output requires an audio tone injected into the receiver.
