3.12.5  Parallel Operation of the Analog and E1 Audio Interfaces 
Introduction 
Analog interface functionality remains unchanged when E1 audio interface 
is selected (see chapter 3.3). 
TX Audio Basic 
interface X5 
Radio functionality related to the TX Audio Basic interface X5 remains 
unchanged when E1 audio interface is selected. Transmitter can be keyed 
via E1 interface or using the rear PTT input (connector X5.8/X5.9). 
In-Band PTT can be configured on the X5 interface as well (see chapter 3.8 
In-Band Signaling). 
Note: Analog transmitting via the X5 and E1 cannot work simultaneously. 
Only one PTT and audio source are accepted at a time. 
RX Audio Basic 
interface X10 
Radio functionality related to the RX Audio Basic interface X10 remains 
unchanged when the E1 audio interface is selected. The received 
demodulated audio signal is available on the Analog and E1 interfaces in 
parallel.  
Note: When in-band signalling is enabled (SQ or RSSI, see chapter 3.8 
In-Band Signaling), the tones are present only on the RX Audio Basic 
interface X10.
