3.1.1 Interconnections
This section describes the various interconnections for the transceiver board.
3.1.1.1 Battery Connector J3
Battery connector J3 consists of three gold-plated contacts on the printed circuit board that mate with
a B-plus connector assembly. Signal descriptions are in Table 3-1.
3.1.1.2 VOCON Connector P1
VOCON connector P1 (located on the XCVR board) consists of 26 gold-plated pads for the 26-pin
compression connector, and one plated tool hole (pin 27) used for connector alignment. This is a
digital interface carrying DC power, control, and data between the XCVR and VOCON boards. P1
connects through the compression connector to P201 on the VOCON board.
