The T-2350 is a synthesized VHF, digital and analog audio transmitter with a
software selectable power output of 1 Watt. The T-2350 has an optional
removable Mini SDTM Card that can record approximately 1 minute of audio in
WAV file format per MB of storage.
The T-2350 has 10 programmable channels. It is designed for body worn
personal protection and evidence gathering missions. Its miniature size and
rugged design insures safe concealment and long lasting performance. The
time to half power with fresh AAA Alkaline batteries is 5 hours. The transmission
is programmable for digital P25 clear, digital P25 encrypted, analog
narrowband, or analog wideband operation. The T-2350 transmission is either
duplexed on the mic/antenna cable (meaning the microphone is the antenna)
or transmitted on a stand-alone noodle antenna, in which case the internal
microphone or remote microphone must be used.
Concerned with the rapid evolution of digital communication technologies and
a need for interoperability, the Association of Public Communications safety
Officials (APCO) developed an open architecture, digital standard for public
safety and government communications systems. Products compliant with
APCO Project 25 standard are interoperable, regardless of the manufacturer.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has
adopted the APCO Project 25 interoperability standard, also known as TIA/EIA-
102. The T-2350 is compliant with this standard.

miniSDTM Card
The T-2350 uses an industry-standard miniSD™ card to make audio
recordings. A 512 MB card, an SD to miniSD adapter, and an SD card reader
are provided with a new T-2350. The audio is recorded in a Windows PCM
waveform format (.wav file). Should the need to replace the card arise, they can
be purchased at most major retailers in various densities from 32 Mb to
512 Mb. Higher densities may be available in the future. As an example, a 32Mb
card will provide approximatley 30 minutes of recording time, 64Mb wil provide
about 60 minutes, etc. The 512 Mb card included with the transmitter will
provide well over 8 hours of recording time. Generally speaking, 1 MB of
memory will provide about 1 minute of recording.
Every new miniSD™ must be properly formatted before it can be used.
Formatting is a simple process that can be done on almost any Microsoft
Windows equipped PC, Laptop, Notebook, and some hand-held PCs. Typically,
this will only need to be done once on each card.
Installing miniSDTM Card
The miniSD™ card slot is accessed by sliding the side panel down (Figure 2).
The Card is inserted with the gold tabs facing the same side as the Channel
Switch. When installed, a red LED will be illuminated indicating that the card
should not be removed due to file management activity. Wait until the red LED
is OFF before removing the card by gently pushing in until it releases.

Recording to a miniSDTM Card
Each of the ten selected channels on the T-2350 can have the recording feature
turned on or off independently from each other. This is accomplished by
clicking the ‘recording on’ or ‘recording off’ button for each channel in the DTC
Universal Programming Software (refer to Figure 3 page 19 for details). To
make a recording, the desired channel must have the ‘recording on’ button
checked, and a properly formatted miniSD card with some available space
must be installed in the T-2350 miniSD slot. For the purposes of this tutorial,
the ‘recording messages’ radio button should be set to ON via the DTC
Universal Programmer.
1. Install a properly formatted miniSDTM card with some available space into
the T-2350, gold connectors facing the side with the channel switch, and
slide the door closed.
2. Set the channel switch to a channel with recording enabled.
3. Turn on a radio reciever tuned to a matching frequency.
4. Turn on the T-2350. First, a message broadcasting “Media Present With
More Than Four Hours Of Recording Time” will be heard on the receiver, then
a few seconds later you will hear the message “Recording Start”.
5. Speak into whichever microphone is enabled, allowing for the recording to
progress for a few moments
6. Set the power switch to the OFF position.
7. Ensure that the red LED in the card slot is NOT on, then push the card in to
remove.
8. Insert the card into the miniSD-SD adaptor, then insert the adaptor into the
reader.
9. Using Windows Explorer, open the SD card and double click on the newly
created .wav file. This should launch the application that plays audio files.

Additional Operational Notes:
The T-2350 operates on six AAA batteries in series, which produce 9 VDC. A fresh
set of batteries will operate the unit for over five hours when in high power mode.
Battery reversal guards are integral to the battery compartment to eliminate the
possibility of cell reversal.
NOTE: Always turn the unit off and remove used batteries when not in use. It is
imperative to discard partially used batteries, as their remaining life is not
predictable. Always start an operation with a fresh set of batteries.
Audio Circuit and Body Mounting Tips:
All body worn transmitters are susceptible to “clothing noise”. Reducing this
rubbing effect is accomplished in a variety of ways. Attach the transmitter to the body
with a secure mounting method, such an ace bandage or a custom harness.
Then;
1Try to locate the microphone in an area that “pickup” will be best and rubbing
noise is least. Avoid the arms, legs, crotch or under the arms or the waist
area. Front torso mounting is ideal.
2Always provide a small amount of strain relief on the microphone cable itself.
This reduces the noise caused by the microphone cable and element being
tugged and prevents cable damage.
3Secure the microphone cable to the body with medical adhesive tape in at
least two spots, the final being about an inch below the element. Remember
to leave a strain relief loop!
4Completely cover the microphone element (facing outward) with an ordinary
Band Aid™. This provides a damped baffle for the microphone and a slick
surface for clothing to rub on, and actually does not impact audio pickup level
at all.

Specifications
Care should be taken when selecting the proper output
power for the T-2350. Higher power will give the greatest
range but will shorten the battery life and increase the
chance of counter detection. DTC recommends using the
lowest possible transmit power that can safely do the job.
The power level must be selected in software. Each
channel can be individually set to either high or low
power.

Introduction
DTC has improved the flexibility in the programming options you have on the
T-2350 audio transmitter. You can choose to use some, all, or none of this
flexibility.
When you order a T-2350 transmitter, DTC will factory program your frequen-
cies at no additional charge to you. You may want to place a sticker over the
rotary switch on the chassis, so users in the field don’t attempt to change
channels.
DTC will also provide you with free software and a free programming cable,
enabling you to change any programmable option. This is ideal if you often
work with other agencies, or anticipate the equipment being used by a multi-
jurisdictional task force. You can program up to ten channel settings per unit.
In general, this allows you to program at the depot for most variations you
might encounter in the field.
The configuration of each channel is managed with DTC programming
software. The programming software included with your T-2350 allows you
to do all of the following:
Programming
-Assign frequencies to each channel
-Select the mode of operation for each channel
(digital clear, digital encrypted, analog narrow or
analog wideband)
- Select the 56-bit DES-OFB encryption key and
16-bit key ID
-Select power level for each channel (High or Low)
-Select which microphone to use
(mic/antenna or alternate microphone).
TIP: Make sure that you program
your transmitter to match the
frequencies of your receiver, and
test the components as a system
prior to going into the field!
- Select Automatic Gain Control mode
(High Gain AGC, Low Gain AGC, No AGC
(Digital Clear/Encryption Only)
- Select LED operation
(normal operation or disabled)
-Enable/disable recording for each channel
- Turn on/off pre-recorded miniSD™ status and
battery status messages
- Set internal clock

Digital Encryption
In the “Digital Encrypt” mode of opera-
tion, this unit uses a 56-bit DES-OFB
Encryption Key per the APCO Project 25
specification. Each Encryption Key is
identified/labeled using a shorter Key
Identifier (16 bits), known as the KeyID.
If the unit uses the Digital Encrypt mode
of operation, one or more KeyID/key
pairs need to be entered.

1. To start entering KeyID/Key pairs, select the “Tx Options” tab , and click the Edit
button under “Encryption_Keys”.
2. To enter a new pair, click “Add Item”. In the dialog box (see Figure A), enter a
four-digit hexadecimal number for the KeyID and click “OK”.
3. The KeyID will be displayed at the top of the dialog box, and the program will
then ask to enter the Encryption Key (16 hexadecimal digits). When done
entering the Key, click OK, and the KeyID/Key pair will be entered into the avail-
able list. If the parity of any of the bytes is not odd, the user will be warned
“Wrong parity entered” and the KeyID/Key will have to be re-entered. To protect
the Key, it will not be shown or displayed once it is entered.
Associating a Key/KeyID pair with a
Channel
For each channel with the “Digital
Encrypt” mode selected, a Key/KeyID
pair must be selected. Under the “Tx
Channels” tab, select the channel and
click “Edit Chan”. The Key/KeyID pair
is selected under “key_IDs”. Note that
you only see the KeyID, not the Key
itself. Note that multiple channels
may use the same KeyID/Key pair if
desired. If the mode is not “Digital
Encrypt”, the key_ID setting is ignored
and has no effect.
Entering Key/KeyID pairs
The KeyID is essentially a label for the
DES-OFB Encryption Key. The KeyID is
a 16-bit value, represented by four
hexadecimal digits, with each hexadeci-
mal digit representing 4-bits (see Table
1 below). The Encryption Key is a 64-bit
value (56-bit key + 8 bits parity), repre-
sented by eight hexadecimal digits. Per
the APCO Project 25 specification, each
byte (i.e. pair of hexadecimal digits) in
the Encryption Key must have odd
parity. Odd parity means that the
number of “one’s” in the binary (0/1)
representation of the 8-bit byte must be
odd. For example, the following is a
valid Encryption Key: 2F AB 08 E3 B5
