| Pin 2 | To find a suitable AF level, turn the Vol Knob OFF Change the AF Min level (in Set Mode) until a suitable level is found. |
| Pin 4 | Solder Bead F for data. Solder Bead D for AF in. |
| Pin 5 | To enable an external PTT: In Common -> Expert, set EPTT/FTSW to EPTT. If you require a delay after releasing PTT, set a value in the EPTT Delay Timer. |
| Pin 6 | To set Pin 6 as a Carrier Operated Relay: Disable the 2/5-tone function for the selected channel. In Common -> Expert, set RX EXO to ON and the Delay Timer to OFF. This enables COR to react instantly to the signal when it switches on and off. |

OPC-617 Ignition Connections for F121/F221 Series Radios
To enable the radio to turn on when the ignition switch is turned on, connect the OPC-617 11 pin connector to J6 on the main PCB. Then connect DB-9 pin 1 to the
ignition switch. Be sure to connect DB-9 pin 1 to a switched-on high contact on the ignition switch.
After making connections, enable in the EXPERT window by setting the DIM / IGSW field to IGSW.
