Description:
This connector adapter attaches to SOME Tait radios that have a DB15 accessory (option) jack like the TM-8105. It converts the DB15 female option jack to Mini-DIN-6 female, allowing an inexpensive Mini-DIN-6 male-to-male cable to be used between the radio and RA/DRA. The DB15 male connector has high quality gold plated contacts.

Cables:
Our DRAC-12 and DIN6-Shortie Cables are compatible with this adapter board, and easily connect to RAs and DRAs with a Mini-DIN-6 Radio Connector. Consider the DRA-50M for digital, or our RA-47M or RA-37M for AllStar Link. The RA-64M accepts two radios to make a repeater.

This adapter connects both 1200 (Speaker) and 9600 (Discriminator) receive audio to separate pins on the Mini-DIN-6 connector under the industry standard pinout. The TXA Pin selection is done by the TXA Select header on this board. RX baud selection is done on the RA / DRA. No Soldering Required!

This adapter provides the carrier squelch signal (COS) and separately the CTCSS (PL) logic signal when used with the RA-64M. It is compatible with AllStar Link or any protocol that requires knowing the status of the receiver (squelched / unsquelched / PL. Proper programming of the radio is required.

The board simply plugs in and is secured with two 4-40 screws (supplied).

Available assembled and tested (only).
