Connecting a radio to the RDX
The Green-GO RDX can be connected to a broad range of two-way radios.
Using the diagrams below, you can create a connector cable for the radio type that
you wish to use. This cable needs to be connected to the D-SUB 9 pin connector
located on the back of the RDX.
The RDX is able to provide precise level matching to practically any two-way radio.
Upon detection of audio on the Green-GO network by the RDX, a Push-To-Talk relay
is activated that takes care of the keying of the radio. A suitable connector cable
(detailed below) - together with the relay contacts - makes sure that the transmitter
will be properly keyed to a radio.
The diagram below shows the D-SUB 9 connections for linking the Green-GO RDX to a
radio base station.
Page 9
Cable connections
A connector cable is required to connect a (Walkie-Talkie) radio to the RDX. This cable
should consist of single conductor shielded wire and should not be longer than 1.5 m
to prevent signal loss. The radio base station can be linked to the RDX by attaching
molded connectors (obtained from e.g. an external microphone or earphone) to the
connector cable. The following diagram illustrates how the cable should be
connected to the D-SUB 9 pin connector.
After connecting the cable, the microphone type and level need to be set up. The
internal jumpers of the RDX can be configured - according to the three diagrams
pictured below - to accommodate specific microphone types.
Because each type of radio has a different way of keying the transmitter, it can be a
challenge to correctly key the specific radio you will be using. Knowing which type of
external microphone your radio uses helps to verify the correct jumper settings and
connector wiring. The diagrams below show the most commonly used setups.
