DX DXE-RXSHARE, Instructions Manual

Page: 3 / 8

- 3 -
In a contest situation, using a transceiver equipped to split the audio feed from the MAIN and SUB
receivers to the left and right headphone channels, each operator can choose to listen to either the
MAIN receiver or the SUB receiver in both ears, or to hear the MAIN in one ear and the SUB in the
other ear. One operator will be able to hear when a new station is ready to be worked, or when the
other operator is going to work them.
Using the DXE-RXSHARE provides complete control of the radio audio feed to two separate
stereo headphones. Audio from typical radio headphone jacks to the DXE-RXSHARE input phone
jacks are quickly and easily connected with user supplied patch cables with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
stereo phone plugs at each end. The unit features two sets of stereo headphone outputs including 1/4
inch (6.35 mm) and 1/8 inch (3.5mm) stereo jacks to accommodate headphones or headsets with
either type of plug - you’ll never hunt for an adaptor again! Audio levels are controlled by the
transceiver AF Gain controls.
The DXE-RXSHARE is built into a heavy steel and stainless steel chassis with four large rubber
feet, so it will not slide around the desk when the switches are operated. The switch panel is clearly
marked for every configuration and operating scenario.
