NRD525: CBO-232 card

CBO-232: new RS-232 CARD for JRC NRD-525.

With this card, you can remote your NRD-525 with a RS-232 terminal or a computer.
You can access to the frequency, read/write memory, mode, IF filter, attenuator and AGC...

Excel sheet read/write NRD-525 memories and VFO.

- WARNING : if the serial number of your JRC happens to be any of BR36071 through BR36120, the CPU EPROM must be replaced.
- The old version 7DEJD0072 does not work correctly in 1200 Bauds. (See 2764 EPROM ).

What are the differences between the CMH-532 and the CBO-232 card ?

	JRC CMH-532	New CBO-232
Problems with 7DEJD0072 CPU EPROM (1200 Bauds)	YES	YES
Replacement of the CPU EPROM (if BR36071 to BR36120)	YES	YES
Direct installation on the CMH-632 card	YES	YES
300 and 1200 Bauds speed	YES	YES
2400 and 4800 Bauds speed	NO	Only with the V2.0 and after CPU EPROM Version.
Based on a 8251 circuit	YES	YES
Slow speed LED	NO	YES
RS-232 outputs	Optical isolation	Classical circuit MAX232 on socket
RS-232 connector	Special JRC connector	7 pins DIN connector with 9-pole SUB-D female cable
RTTY demodulator output (with the CMH-530 card)	YES (pin 10)	YES (pin 6)

CBO-232 card specifications

Based on a 8251 circuit and a programmable divider.
RS-232 outputs with a classical circuit MAX232.
Quartz reference: 3,6864 MHz.
This card is installed in the CMH-632 connectors.
The J47 connector is compatible with the JRC cable referenced H-6ZCJD00141.
7 pins DIN RS-232 connector, with 9-pole female Sub-D RS-232 standard cable (DB9).
RS-232 configuration: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
300 and 1200 Bauds.
(Optional 2400 and 4800 Bauds). (*) )
An onboard LED (SLW) indicates the slow speed.
If you have the RTTY CMH-530 card:

Characters converted can output to the RS-232,
An auxiliary output can be use by an external device to decode others modes (RTTY ASCII, CW...).
