Bluetooth types for the TH-D75’s wireless interface.
The TH-D75 supports Bluetooth 3.0, Class 2 with two profiles (per Operating Tips §5.12 and §6.2 specifications):
- HSP (Headset Profile): audio via BT headsets (PTT still on radio).
- SPP (Serial Port Profile): serial data for CAT control, APRS apps, MCP-D75, and Reflector Terminal Mode.
HFP (Hands-Free Profile) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) are not supported. The radio only works with HSP + SPP compatible devices.
§Hardware (per service manual §2.1.8.9, Fig.12)
The BT/GPS combo IC is IC2044, connected to the MAIN MPU (IC2005) via three interfaces:
- HCI UART (UART2): BT control/data at 115.2 kbps (access) / 3.569 Mbps (normal), level-shifted 3.3V↔1.8V through IC2046.
- AI2 UART (UART1): GPS NMEA data at 115.2 kbps, level-shifted through IC2036.
- PCM audio (McASP): digital audio I2S for BT headset audio, level-shifted 3.3V↔1.8V through IC2048.
IC2044 runs on dedicated 3.3V (IC2041) and 1.8V (IC2038) regulators,
with a 19.2 MHz TCXO (X2003) and 32.768 kHz RTC crystal (X2004).
The MAIN MPU controls BT power via /BT_SHUTDOWN (active low reset).
Per User Manual Chapter 18:
- Menu No. 930: Bluetooth on/off (default: Off).
- Menu No. 931: Connect to a paired device from the device list.
- Menu No. 932: Device search (pairing with new headset).
- Menu No. 933: Disconnect from a Bluetooth device.
- Menu No. 934: Pairing mode (for PC connections, 60-second countdown).
- Menu No. 935: Device information / name (up to 19 characters).
- Menu No. 936: Auto connect on power-on (default: On). Does not support automatic connection with a PC.
HSP audio bandwidth is limited to 4 kHz and below, so FM radio reception may sound different from speakers/earphones.
Headset volume cannot be adjusted via the radio’s [VOL] control;
use the headset’s own volume control.
Transfer rate: USB up to 12 Mbps, Bluetooth up to 128 kbps.
When connecting to a PC via Bluetooth 2.0 or earlier, the PIN code
is 0000.
Per User Manual Chapter 28 (specifications): Bluetooth output power is -6 to +4 dBm, carrier frequency drift ±25 kHz (one slot), ±40 kHz (three/five slot).
This module is intentionally empty pending hardware capture data.
