Sangean ATS-803a Pinout

[Blackswan73]

I just purchased a Sangean 803a and I was wondering if anyone has the pinout for the 5 pin recorder jack? I have the DX 440 manual and schematic, but the 440 doesn’t have the recorder jack.

I don't see anything about a 5 pin port in the manuals. Is it a DIN socket?

 

[Blackswan73]

Yes. It is not on my DX 440, nor is it listed on my 440 schematic. It is a standard 5 pin DIN socket. That is the main reason I bought a 803a. I already have two DX 440 radios, one I purchased new from Radio Shack, and one I purchased for parts, that only needs a new encoder. It works fine with the front buttons.

The DIN 5 pin audio connector is standardized. While fairly uncommon now, they were popular back in the late 70's/80's on AV equipment:

Thank you. I believe it is the same as the DIN cables used in pro sound. I believe I have one that terminates in two RCA phono plugs I will check the pin out on it and confirm if it will work
