dr590t.3 For those who have recently posted messages seeking the pin out for the Alinco DR-590, I am pleased to be able to report it to you now that I have received the plain English manual from the company. The pinouts are: 1 - MIC; 2 - PTT; 3 - DOWN; 4 - UP; 5 - DC 5V; 6 - REMOTE; 7 - GND (MIC); 8 - GND. If you are uncertain, pins begin at the 11 o'clock position (pin 1) and continue counterclockwise to pin 7 (at 1 o'clock). Pin 8 is the center pin. If you wish to replace your "Jinglish" manual with a much more comprehensible one, just call the company (213) 618-8616 or fax (213) 618-8758. One last note: If, like me, you have previously wired the dr-110 for packet, you will be interested to note that the dr-590 pin outs are the same except for pin 6. Good luck. 73 de WA4OJK @ W4CUE
