  1. Hardware Side of JT65-HF

  2. Required Hardware: • HF SSB Transceiver • Computer • 2-6 Customs Cables • Digital Interface (may not be required)

  3. JT65 Hardware Interconnects Digital Interface HF Transceiver Computer

  4. JT65 Hardware Interconnects– Simplest Only 2 signal paths involved HF Transceiver Computer Speaker “Mic” “Headphones” “Mic” VOX PTT Digital Interface (Not Required)

  5. JT65 Hardware Interconnects– Simple Only 3 signal paths involved HF Transceiver Computer Speaker “Mic” “Headphones” “Mic” 7 PTT PTT RTS Digital Interface Serial Port PTT Gnd GND 5 PTT Gnd 9 Pin RS 232 Connectors Only required to generate PTT signal

  6. Digital Interface - Simplest NPN transistor 2.2 K 7 PTT PTT PTT Gnd 5 PTT Gnd 9 Pin RS 232 Connector Diodes = any working diode

  7. POTENTIAL PROBLEMS: • Some computers do not have a “MIC” input • Tones generated by computer may not have equal amplitude • May be hard to identify this problem • May not be a common problem • No RS 232 serial port • Difficult to set MIC level to transmitter • Typical computer audio out is ~2V • Typical “MIC” input level is ~10mV • Difficult to set MIC level to computer • Don’t use JT65 software to adjust receiver audio level • Ground loops

  8. Digital Interconnects Using A USB Port HF Transceiver Computer Speaker “Mic” M “Headphones” “Mic” 9 Pin RS 232 Connectors PTT Digital Interface “USB” Port PTT Gnd F • USB 2.0 to RS232 Converter • Mfg: eforcity • Model: PCABUSBX0049 • Driver Download: http://driverdownload168.com
