4S-Link question
|
Chris Howard w0ep
I bought a 4S-Link already assembled, from another gentleman.
I'm looking at the schematic and the instructions online. The schematic shows two connections to the computer: headphones and mic. And three connections to the radio: key, mic, speaker. The unit itself has one side labeled computer with mic and speaker ports; one side labeled transceiver with three ports key, mic, phones. I'm confused about the transciever-side:phones and the computer-side:speaker. I guess I could open the thing up and trace out the circuit, but I'm hoping someone can just tell me which hole is for my computer audio output and which hole for my radio audio output. Thanks all, Chris

I figured it out.
For posterity: computer-side: speaker --> radio audio out computer-side: mic --> computer audio in -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: 4S-Link question Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:30:41 -0500 From: Chris Howard w0ep <w0ep@...> To: 4sqrp@...

I told you I needed help. Now I have computer-side: mic --> computer audio in transceiver-side: phones --> radio audio out And I have sound coming out of the speaker.

Hello Chris, we hoped that the screen printing
would be self explanatory.

On the computer side of he interface: The mic jack is connected to the computer's microphone input jack. The speaker jack is connect to the comp On the rig side of the interface: The Key Jack is connected to your rig''s key jack. The mic/ptt jack is connect to the your rigs mic jack. The Key jack is connected to you rig's PTT jack. All connectors used on the 4S-Link are standard ⅛” (3.5mm) stereo jacks You will lhave to fabricate a custom mic connector to fit your rig. Check out the Theory of Operation section of the manual as the PTT line may be handled differently in various software programs. Good Luck and hope this helps. 72 WAØITP I love this radio stuff. www.wa0itp.com wa0itp@... On 4/2/2015 6:22 PM, Chris Howard w0ep

Normal labeling will indicate Line-In and Line-Out. The interface
line-in connects to the computer line-out (or speaker) and the
interface line-out connects to the computer Line-in (or microphone).

At least that has been the convention that I have had in my mind for a long time. If you want to feed an iPOD audio to a computer, you would connect the iPOD speaker (or line out) to the computer Line-In (or Mic). The same convention should be used for digital interfaces. In other words, the convention says what the output or input is to the device that is being labeled - and not to whatever designation on the device to which it is to be connected. It seems the 4S-Link has differed from the usual conventions - and that can cause confusion. 73, Don W3FPR

I think I got it figured out. My problem was

the difference between the labeling and the schematic. Where the schematic says "speaker" the label says "phones". Where the schematic says "Comp. Headphones" the label says "speaker" I think a bit of touch-up on the schematic and I would be 100% hunky dory. But I did figure it out. Chris
