CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT 13 PC CONNECTION FOR DATA COMMUNICATION This transceiver is equipped with data communication connectors (USB and ACC2) for exchanging audio signals with the auxiliary equipment and connectors (USB and COM) for controlling using PC commands when performing data communication with an external device such as a PC as the auxiliary equipment. To make use of data communication such as RTTY (AFSK), PSK31, SSTV, JT65 and FT8 using data communication software that employs the sound function of a PC and with this transceiver configured to the DATA mode (SSB-DATA, FM-DATA, AM-DATA), set up the connection as follows. • When using the USB audio function: connect to the PC using a USB cable. Data communication with only the USB cable connection is possible by making use of data VOX or PC commands ("TX1;" to start transmission and "RX;" to end transmission) to switch between transmission and reception. (For details on the configuration of the input sound source in the DATA mode and the VOX function, refer to page 31.) • When using an ACC 2 connector: connect the audio output line of the PC to pin 11 (ANI) of the ACC 2 connector and the audio input line of the PC to pin 3 (ANO). Pin 9 (PKS) of the ACC 2 connector, data VOX or PC commands ("TX1;" to start transmission and "RX;" to end transmission) are used to switch between transmission and reception. • When controlling using PC command, connect to the PC with a RS-232C straight cable or a USB cable. To connect with a USB cable, use the virtual COM (Standard) port. {page 62} • For performing RTTY keying by connecting to a PC (or other external devices) while this transceiver is configured to the FSK mode, please refer to "RADIO TELETYPE (RTTY)" {page 39}.

PC CONNECTION FOR DATA COMMUNICATION
This transceiver is equipped with data communication connectors (USB and ACC2) for exchanging audio signals
with the auxiliary equipment and connectors (USB and COM) for controlling using PC commands when performing
data communication with an external device such as a PC as the auxiliary equipment.
To make use of data communication such as RTTY (AFSK), PSK31, SSTV, JT65 and FT8 using data
communication software that employs the sound function of a PC and with this transceiver configured to the DATA
mode (SSB-DATA, FM-DATA, AM-DATA), set up the connection as follows.
•
When using the USB audio function: connect to the PC using a USB cable. Data communication with only the
USB cable connection is possible by making use of data VOX or PC commands (“TX1;” to start transmission and
“RX;” to end transmission) to switch between transmission and reception. (For details on the configuration of the
input sound source in the DATA mode and the VOX function, refer to page 31.)
•
When using an ACC 2 connector: connect the audio output line of the PC to pin 11 (ANI) of the ACC 2
connector and the audio input line of the PC to pin 3 (ANO). Pin 9 (PKS) of the ACC 2 connector, data VOX
or PC commands (“TX1;” to start transmission and “RX;” to end transmission) are used to switch between
transmission and reception.
•
When controlling using PC command, connect to the PC with a RS-232C straight cable or a USB cable. To
connect with a USB cable, use the virtual COM (Standard) port. {page 62}
•
For performing RTTY keying by connecting to a PC (or other external devices) while this transceiver is
configured to the FSK mode, please refer to “RADIO TELETYPE (RTTY)” {page 39}.
