Hello, can anyone tell me what pin i need on the accessoryconnector to get 9/12v 200mah out of the MCS2000?
I think it is pin 9 and 25 but i'm not sure..
please help!
Thanks, GJ.

Pin 9 is ground, pin 14 is switched B+

Disregard my last post. Ground is actually pin 10. Pin 14 is the switched B+.

Youre right about pin 10, pin 14 only give's 5volts MAX!
The only pin that give's more than 10volts is pin 25 but i'm not sure what pin 25 means.

Pin 25 is discriminator audio. What is it you want to you? I wouldn't recommend running any kind of electrical device off the MCS unless it's for an external alarm. Save yourself a radio and just run an extra wire.

Discriminator audio... so if i connect a DC442 CTCSS decoder to pin 25 i can decode CTCSS tones?
Do i have to use an other pin for ground?
Please explane so can hook up my decoder!!
Youre right about the extra cable!
Thanks!

That's correct, the DC442 should work fine. Use the regular ground pin 10. FYI, there is another ground pin (4) but it's for interfacing digital data equipment. 10 is referred to as analog ground and should suit you. As usual, make sure not to short the wires...etc etc.

OK, i've connected the DC442 ground wire to the MCS2000 ground pin number 10.
Now i have two other wire's: squelch and audio, witch one should i connect to the MCS2000 pin 25?
It is correct that there is 12volts on pin 25???

I don't know the DC442 at all but my guess would be squelch. The voltage levels from the discriminator output will vary.
