Connect your accessories to the RCA jacks using standard RCA cables (not provided). Suitable
cables are available at any electronics or home entertainment store. RCA cables often come as
pairs for stereo audio hookups. You can use them as-is, or you can easily split most of them to
make two separate cables; just pull gently – they split right apart. Use the Output jacks as needed;
you do not have to connect them all. Again, all “Outputs” are bi-directional; they can be used as
input or outputs as needed.
When using the DIN-13 cable, pins 1 – 13 of your transceiver’s accessory jack are mapped to
RCA Output jacks 1 – 13, respectively (Output 14 is not connected in this case). Consult your
transceiver’s manual for the pinout of the accessory jack. For example, if the ALC line on your
transceiver is pin 3 of its DIN-13 accessory jack, you would run an RCA cable from the Output 3
RCA jack to your amp. When using the DIN-13 cable, make no connections to the DIN-8 and
DIN-6 jacks on the RCA-14 breakout box.
The DIN-8 cable maps pins 1 – 8 of the accessory jack to Outputs 1 – 8. The DIN-6 cable maps
pins 1 – 6 of the accessory jack to Outputs 9 – 14. You can use the DIN-6 and DIN-8 cables at the
same time if you wish. The DIN-13 cable must be used alone.
