Basic Hook-up Instructions
Transceivers with an 8 pin round metal mic jack:
1. Take the microphone cable supplied with the DXpro and screw it to the
microphone jack on your transceiver.
2. The other end of the microphone cable is an RJ-45 style modular connector.
This plugs into the rear microphone jack (MIC) on the DXpro.
3. Use the supplied stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) from the external
speaker jack on your transceiver to the LINE IN jack on the rear panel of the
DXpro.
4. Connect your transceiver’s microphone to the front panel microphone jack
on the DXpro.

Powering the DXpro
The DXpro has two different methods for power. A USB connection to the
PC is recommended, but if you prefer you can also use the supplied 12VDC
Powerpole
®
cable. Powering the DXpro from 12VDC means you can operate
an attached microphone without the need for the computer to be turned on. If
planning to use the switched 12VDC output, then the 12VDC Powerpole
®
cable
must be plugged in and connected to a suitable DC power supply.
Optional Cables
If you purchased any optional cables with your DXpro these can now be
connected.
CAT cable
: This will connect to either the CAT (RS232) or CAT (TTL) jacks on
the rear panel of the DXpro and the appropriate CAT jack on your transceiver.
Depending on your transceiver model this could be either an RS232, 3.5mm, or
DIN connector.
