AC: This LED glows green during AC operation.
DC: This LED glows yellow during DC operation.
MIC Jack
③
This 8-pin modular jack accepts the microphone input, and provides a standby control line to activate
the transmitter when using the “BASE” mode of
operation. This jack also provides a “Hook” control
line, as well as a “Clone Data” line.
BASE/REPEATER Switch
④
This switch toggles the operating mode between the
“REPEATER” mode and the “BASE” transceiver
mode. When the “REPEATER” mode is selected, the
LED above it glows green. While in the “BASE”
mode (the green LED is off), you can speak into the
microphone to use it as a transceiver. For normal
repeater operation, set this switch to the “RE-
PEATER” mode.
LOCAL/REMOTE Switch
⑤
This switch toggles the control mode between the
“REMOTE” mode and “LOCAL” mode. When the
“LOCAL” mode is selected, the LED above it is off,
and the repeater operates according to the control
data programmed into the repeater. While in the
“REMOTE” mode, the LED glows green, and the
repeater operates according to the control instructions received from an external device (connected
to the ACC jack on the rear panel).

should be connected to the AC mains supply or wall
outlet. The AC line voltage must match that for
which the repeater is wired.
BATT Terminal
⑧
These terminal posts accept 12~ 15 VDC for operating the repeater from a battery or other DC source.
When operating from AC mains, a small trickle current is present at these terminals to maintain battery charge. A battery rated for 12 volts, 55 Ah (minimum) is recommended for short-term emergency/
backup operation.
Never short-circuit these terminal while operating
from AC mains.
VXR-7000 FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUAL 3
ACC Connector Port
The VXR-7000 repeater is provided with a 25-pin DB25F female connector for interconnections to accessories. Use a DB-25M 25-pin male connector to connect
accessories to the repeater. The pins on the accessory
connector are explained in detail as follows:
Pin 1: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 2: +13.8 V [Power Supply]
This pin provides 13.8 Volts, 1.0 A, regulated DC
from the repeater supply. Use a 1 A fuse in the external device’s DC line to prevent damage to the repeater.
Pin 3: TX AF IN [Analog Transmitter Input]
(Voice Band: 300 ~ 3,000 Hz)
Input impedance is approx. 600 Ω. This audio is injected before the splatter filter stage, so excess signal input levels are clipped.
Use shielded cable to connect to this pin, and connect the shield to GND.
Pin 4: TONE IN [Transmitter Input]
(Sub-audible Band: 6 ~ 250 Hz)
The input is high impedance (approx. 22 kΩ). Injecting too high a voltage here causes over-deviation of CTCSS or DCS, degrading performance. Use
shielded cable to connect to this pin, connecting the
shield to GND.
Pin 5: N.C. (No connection.)
Pin 6: DISC OUT [Analog Output]
(Wide-Band: 0 ~ 3,000 Hz)
Received signals with standard deviation produce
approx. 1 Vp-p audio at this pin. The output imped-
ance is approx. 600 Ω, and is extracted before the
de-emphasis and squelch circuitry. Use shielded
cable to connect to this pin, and connect the shield
to GND.
Pin 7: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power sup-
ply return.
Pin 8: RSSI [Analog Output]
A DC voltage proportional to the strength of the signal currently being received (Receiver Signal
Strength Indicator) is provided on this pin. This low
impedance output is generated by the receiver IF
sub-system and buffered by an internal op-amp.
Typical voltages are graphed as follows:
Pin 9: COAX. SW [Logic Output (Active Low)]
This output is intended for controlling an external
coaxial switching relay. It is an open collector output which can sink approx. 10 mA when active. This
signal only switches if the repeater has been programmed for “SIMPLEX” mode. If programmed
for “DUPLEX,” the signal remains open (high impedance) at all time.
Pin 10: N.C. (No connection. )
Pin 11: NSQ DET
This is an open-collector, active-low output capable
of sinking about 10 mA. It indicates that the receiver
squelch is open. If the squelch control is properly
set, this indicates a carrier on the receiver channel.
Pin 12: EXT PTT
This input is internally pulled up to 5 VDC. When
pulled low by an external device, it keys the repeater
transmitter while the repeater is operating in the
“BASE” mode. Avoid voltage in excess of 5 V on
this pin, or internal damage to the microprocessor
on the repeater CNTL Unit may result.

Pin 13: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 14: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 15: N.C. (No connection. )
Pin 16, 17, 18, & 19: REMOTE CH DATA
[Logic Inputs D3, D2, D1, and D0] (Active Low)
These inputs are internally pulled up to 5-V DC.
When pulled low by an external device, they select
one of the 16 pre-programmed repeater operating
channels. The logic truth table below shows the combinations for selecting all 16 channels.
In the truth table, “1” represents no connection, and
“0” represents a ground connection on the pin.
The channel selection logic is not inhibited while the
transmitter is keyed: the repeater will change frequency when instructed, even while transmitting.
Avoid voltage in excess of 5 V on these pins or internal damage to the microprocessor on the repeater
CNTL Unit may result.

Pin 21: A-OUTPUT [Logic Output] (Active Low)
This open collector logic output is pulled low when
the front panel’s ACCESSORY key is turned on. It
can sink approx. 10 mA when active.
Pin 22: RXD LOW
[Digital Output for DATA Communications]
(300 ~ 3,000 Hz)
This pin is an output for low speed receiving data
signals, with the data being extracted after the deemphasis and low pass filter stages.
Pin 23: RXD HI
[Digital Output for DATA Communications]
This pin is an output for high speed receiving data
signals, with the data being extracted immediately
after the discriminator prior to any de-emphasis).
Pin 24: TXD LOW
[Digital Input for DATA Communications]
(300 ~ 3,000 Hz)
This pin is intended to be used as a low speed digital data signal input to the repeater. This digital data
signal is injected before transmitter pre-emphasis
and limiting stage, so excess signal input levels are
clipped.
Pin 25: TXD HI
[Digital Input for the DATA Communications]
This pin is intended to be used as a high speed digital data signal input to the repeater. This digital data
signal is injected after transmitter splatter filter stage.
