NCC-1 Installation 

 

Please read the following section carefully. 

 

The best location for this unit is at the operating position with easy access to the controls since you 
will be using the S-Meter on your receiver while adjusting the 

NCC-1

 

Connections 

Make connections to the 

NCC-1

 as follows:  

 

 

Connect a fused power source of 12-15 Vdc @ 1A or more to the 2.1 mm 
center-positive 

MAIN PWR

 jack using the provided 2.1 mm plug. Station 

power is recommended. 

 

 

Connect the first receiving antenna to the 

INPUT A

 F style or Phono connector. 

 

 

Connect the second receiving antenna to the 

INPUT B

 F style or Phono connector. 

 

 

Connect a standard shielded audio style cable between the 

T/R Control

 Phono connector and 

an external transmit control source.  

 

o

 

By default, the 

NCC-1

 is set to mute when the 

T/R Control

 line is pulled LOW. 

This is normal station wiring. Many modern transceivers have a rear panel amplifier 
control jack typically labeled as "TX", "AMP", "Send”, “Control" or "TX GND" that 
pulls low when the transceiver is keyed. (Check the user manual for your radio)  

 

 

Note:

 Internal jumpers (HD5) can be changed to allow the 

NCC-1

 to use an 

in 5 to 50 Vdc amplifier control line. This is an unusual configuration. 

 

 

o

 

T/R Control

 line on the 

NCC-1

 can be paralleled on the same control line used for 

the amplifier provided the amplifier does not load the line when not transmitting. If 
the amplifier does load the line, you will have to add a blocking diode. 

 

o

 

The 

DX Engineering TVSU-1A

 programmable sequencer can also be used to 

provide the proper transmit/receive switching for an amplifier, transceiver, and the 

NCC-1

. Refer to Appendix A for the high power installation connection diagram. 

 

 

Connect the 

RX OUT

 jack to a receiver or the transceiver receive-only antenna port. 

 

 

Do not

 connect the RX OUT connector of the NCC-1 to a transceiver RF output!
