TMAA04-04 Crossband Linking Cable
Installation Instructions

Introduction
The TMAA04-04 crossband linking cable is used to
connect the auxiliary connectors of two radios
configured as a crossband repeater. Components in the
TMAA04-04 are optomized for voice applications.
Important: The radio does not meet the IP54

protection standard once the auxiliary
connector rubber bung has been removed and a
crossband linking cable has been installed. Care
must be taken when the radio is being operated in an environment where there
is water, dust or other environmental hazards.

Installation
1. Remove the rubber bung that covers the auxiliary connector on each of the radios.
2. Plug each end of the crossband linking cable into the auxiliary connector on
each radio.

Radio Programming
After the transmit and receive channels have been programmed for both radios, settings
in the following forms must also be configured:
■

PTT form (refer to Table 1)

■

Programmable I/O form — Digital tab (refer to Table 2)

■

Programmable I/O form — Audio tab (refer to Table 3).

If a repeater transmit tail is required, settings in the following forms must be configured
in both radios:
■

PTT form (TM8100 radios only) (refer to Table 4)

■

Basic Settings form—Subaudible Signalling tab (TM8200 radios and optional for
TM8100 radios) (refer to Table 5 and Table 6).

Some of the settings shown in the tables are default settings and may not need to be changed.
In all cases, refer to the online help of the programming application for more information.

Repeater Transmit Tail Settings
TM8100 Radios
If the transmitter requires a “tail”, then this can be set in the External PTT (1) tab of
the PTT form. During the PTT deactivation delay period, any signalling, such as
CTCSS or DCS, is still present.

If a further transmitter tail is required, then this can be configured in the Subaudible
Signalling tab of the Basic Settings form. During the lead-out delay period, no
signalling, such as CTCSS or DCS, is present.

Operational Testing
1. On the receiving radio, inject an on-channel RF signal at a level of -70dBm, modulated to ±3kHz deviation (wide bandwidth channel) or ±1.5kHz (narrow bandwidth channel), at 1kHz AF.
2. On the transmitting radio, the resulting deviation should be:
■

±3kHz (with a tolerance of ±200Hz) on a 25kHz wide bandwidth channel.

■

±1.5kHz (with a tolerance of ±200Hz) on a 12.5kHz narrow
bandwidth channel.

Interface Specification
The following table and diagram summarizes the signals used for the crossband linking
cable on the radios’ auxiliary connectors and shows the interface between the cable and
the radios.
