Features:
Digital voice communications using existing analog 2 way radios. The ARD9800
uses the same audio frequencies (300 Hz ~ 2500 Hz) as microphone audio to
modulate the voice signal. This allows you to use an analog radio as a digital voice
transceiver.
Digital voice communications in the Single Side Band (SSB) mode. The automatic
frequency clarifier function adjusts frequency drift automatically in the SSB mode.
(Approximately up to +/- 125 Hz). Utilizes the ODFM (Multi Carrier Modulation)
circuit that is effective against Multi-path or Selective Fading.
Automatic digital receive. Automatic voice signal detector recognizes the received
signal as analog or digital, automatically switching to the appropriate mode.
Digital Slow Scan TV (SSTV). Built-in video capture function (NTSC or PAL
depending on version). Compresses the signal into our original adaptive JPEG. Send
and receive images (similar to analog slow scan TV, but higher resolution) in the
Digital mode. Built-in video output connector (NTSC or PAL depending on version)
allows viewing the picture on an external monitor.
Built-in high grade Vocoder (AMBE). Uses high grade digital voice compression to
deliver quality digital voice communications.
Built-in FEC error correction. A powerful error correction circuit delivers stable and
reliable communications.
Data communications on the HF band Data communication is possible on the HF
(High frequency) bands at no extra cost. (Speed may be limited by regulations in
certain jurisdictions.)
Small and compact unit. Easy to operate. Simply connect the ARD9800 to the
microphone jack. No complicated or risky radio modifications are necessary.
Utilizes a uniquely designed high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
engine.
Battery operation possible for field use.

Presetting
Output Level to Radio Transceiver
This level has to be supplied properly to the radio transceiver for operation.
1. Connect the supplied hand microphone to the ARD9800 first. Then connect
your radio to the RADIO terminal on the ARD9800 by using your prepared
connection cable certainly. Turn ON the ARD9800.
2. Make sure that the output level adjusting volume (y) is set to minimum.
3. Select the mode switch (i) to [10101] position as digital.
4. Press PTT switch on the supplied hand microphone.
5. Adjust microphone gain control on the radio transceiver to suitable level.
Particularly, it is recommended to adjust the level that activates ALC function.
If the ALC function activates too much, it might create audio distortion. As a
result, the communication with a distant station might be compromised.
6. Adjust the output level located on the bottom side of the ARD9800 when the
microphone gain control on the radio transceiver does not adjust for sufficient
level.
7. If the microphone gain is still not enough even though you proceeded as per
step (6.), turn OFF the ARD9800 first and go to step (8).
8. Remove the upper cover of the ARD9800 and locate the jumper pin for Output
level setting. Change the jumper pin (The default is inserted between 1-2) to 23 for high level. Put the cover back into place.
Proceed again with steps 1 to 6.
9. If the microphone gain is still not enough, set the ATT command to OFF with a
terminal software . Then try again steps 1 to 6.
16
Microphone Level
The microphone level has been properly adjusted at the factory with the provided
microphone. Therefore, no further adjustment is needed for normal operation.
If you wish to use your own microphone, you will need to wire your microphone
connector to match the pins of the ARD9800, and then adjust the microphone level as
described in the following steps:
1. Connect your microphone to the Microphone connector on the ARD9800.
(Note: The microphone cable to the radio MUST be unplugged at this time.)
2. Select the mode switch (i) to [10101] position as digital.
3. Select [0=zero] of transmitting channel [CHAN].
4. Turn ON the ARD9800 while pressing the TX switch. It will be blinked Status
LED with orange color. It indicates the ARD9800 is now placed into
microphone level adjusting mode.
5. You can speak into a microphone by pressing PTT button. Rotate the
transmitting channel [CHAN] to clockwise until the [OVER] LED is lit in
some times synchronizing to the speaking level.
6. After you recognize the suitable microphone level at the above stage, press TX
switch while pressing PTT button. The TX LED will be lit in orange color and
it is now memorized this new setting value in digital mode.
7. Release the PTT button and select Mode switch to analog (~) position.
8. The microphone level adjustment in Analog mode is normally not required.
Then press TX switch while pressing PTT button.
However, if audio signal level is weak at the distant station, you can take same
process from 1 to 4 as above even though it is for analog mode. And press TX
switch while pressing PTT button to confirm with the new setting value.
9. Turn the power OFF of the ARD9800 to terminate the microphone level
adjusting mode.

assign the ID number for the specified destination’s station along
with NETMASK (Group Code) and SQUELCH (DCS) functions
together. This function is only effective in digital mode.
The ARD9800 provides 16 channels (A~F, 0~9). You can assign
each channel for ID, NETMASK and SQUELCH parameters
individually. Depending on your communications scheme, you can
select the channel number.
