Home or Field Day protection
The
DXE-RG-5000HD
Receiver Guard is installed into the
“receiver loop” between the RX OUT and RX IN
connectors. On the ICOM IC-7600, press and hold the ANT
selector until 1/R is displayed on the screen as the selected
antenna. This will bring the
DXE-RG-5000HD
into the
receive loop. By doing this, you will prevent front-end
blowout from nearby transmitters received on the transmit
antenna being used by the IC-7600. Consult your transceiver
manual regarding the use of RX OUT and RX IN
connections.
Note there are optional items used all of the diagrams shown in this manual.
