IC-471. Digital output taken from discriminator (IC-14) pin 9. This pin, and ground, are brought out to J-14 for feeding the optional tone squelch unit (not fitted on my rig). Rig works well with existing CFW-455E filter (I think its 15KHz bandwidth) but needs retuning after about 4-5 KHz of doppler; a wider filter may require less frequent tuning but, with the advent of 12.5 KHz channel spacing on terrestrial uses, I kept the narrow filter. Digital modulation would be applied, as with the IC-251, to top of the deviation pot; thats at the junction of R28 and R29, close to Q1 on the circuit diagram. I haven't actually used this yet (see note above about RUDAK). PTT connection made to the appropriate pins on the rear panel's accessory socket - same story as IC-251. Connections made to both rigs via phono sockets using screened cable both inside and outside the rig. The IC-251 has some unused sockets, and the IC-471 has a removable plate which I mounted 3 sockets on. The IC-471 provides receiver audio on pin 8 (the centre pin) of the mike jack. I modified the IC-251 to put it on the same (previously unused) pin. This is used for "ordinary" 1200 bps operations. Pin 4 of the IC-471's mike jack is the up/down line; that pin is unused on the IC-251 so I'll probably use it if/when I modify the 251 for up/down. 73 Richard G3RWL *****************************************************************************
