After you have followed the “hardware installation” steps in this chapter and the
“software installation and configuration” steps in the “Pacterm 2.0” chapter, you
will be ready to move on to the “Getting Started” and “Modes of Operation”
chapters.
To show you where you are heading with the step-by-step configuration covered
below, we start with a brief section on equipment needs for your station and an
overview diagram that shows how the parts of your station will be connected
when you are ready to begin using it.
The Major Components of Your Station
This section describes the basic components needed for your multi-mode digital
radio station and the connections between components that will be involved in
the installation of your station.
The KAM’98
Your KAM’98 is going to be at the center of your multi-mode digital radio sta-
tion, so setting up your station involves connecting other units to your KAM’98.

As shown below, the back of the KAM’98 unit has:
•
a power jack,
•
a DB-9 radio port, for connecting to an HF or VHF radio,
•

and/or control devices,
