Fixed-level RX audio cable
: This will take the place of the supplied stereo audio
cable (steps 3 above) and will usually connect from a transceiver’s accessory
jack to LINE IN on the rear panel of the DXpro.
Fixed-level RX audio & RTTY FSK
: This will take the place of the supplied
stereo audio cable (steps 3 above) and will connect from a transceiver’s
accessory jack to LINE IN and FSK OUT on the rear panel of the DXpro. N.B.
The FSK part of the cable will be labeled ‘FSK’ or have a yellow band.
CW cable
: Connect the 3.5mm plug to the CW OUT jack on the rear panel of the
DXpro and use the 6.35mm (1/4”) adapter if necessary to connect to the straight-

Operation
Controls & Indicators
Refer to the DXpro diagram on the previous page.
Front Panel (from left to right)
Microphone jack
: Used for your transceiver’s microphone, or to connect the
microphone cable to if using an RJ-45 style transceiver.
Footswitch LED (V-STA)
: This multi-color LED will illuminate when a footswitch
is used with the DXpro. If using multiple footswitch taps, or a keypad style
footswitch the LED will change color depending on the number of taps or button
pressed. By default the DXpro is configured for press and hold only.
SEQ-S LED
: This LED will illuminate if the DXpro is configured to use a
sequencer. It indicates that the SEQ-START signal is present on the rear panel
SEQ-START jack.
SEQ-E LED
: This LED will illuminate when a returning signal from the sequencer
is detected. Until this occurs transmit outputs are inhibited.
SQ LED
: This LED will illuminate when a squelch signal (COS) from the
transceiver is present at the SQ jack on the rear panel. This signal is tied to serial
DSR on the Control COM port and can be used with EchoLink in Sysop mode.
TX LEVEL
: This control attenuates the output transmit signal. It will not attenuate
microphone audio when using an attached microphone. Use this control to
regulate your transceiver’s output power when transmitting digital audio
RX LEVEL
: This control attenuates the input receive signal. Use this control to
“lighten” or “darken” your software’s waterfall.
