If your PC does not have a real Serial Port, use the included USB Interface Cable. To install
the drivers necessary to use the USB Interface Cable, please see the “
RIGblaster Pro USB
Owners Manual Addendum” at the rear of this manual.
One DB9 Male to DB9 Female Serial Cable is supplied with the
RIGblaster Pro . The specific
software and the manner in which intended operation of the various functions facilitated by the
RIGblaster Pro will determine how to connect the serial cables.
To do basic SoundCard applications such as PSK31, SSTV, CW, RTTY, connect the supplied
serial cable between an available serial port on the PC and SERIAL/COM RS232 IN/OUT A
(R3) on the rear of the
RIGblaster Pro .
Read the section titled COM PORT & RIG CONTROL JUMPER DIAGRAMS to assist in
determining if a second serial cable (not supplied) is need between a second serial port on the
PC and SERIAL/COM RS232 IN/OUT B (R2) on the rear of the
RIGblaster Pro . Additional
DB9 to DB9 Serial Cables can be purchased from West Mountain Radio at
www.westmountainradio.com .
Turn on the
RIGblaster Pro Power Switch.
The Green “Power” LED and the Green “mic” LED
should come on. The Green “level.” LED (F6) will come on briefly then will go off. At this time
no other LED should light.
Turn on the PC. During the boot-up process, the PTT LED (F11) will blink on and off at least
once. The CW LED may also blink on and go off during the boot-up. When the booting is
complete, the PTT and CW LEDs should be off. If not, there is a software problem; see the
Support pages online at
www.westmountainradio.com/support .
(Note: This test may or may not work if using the USB Interface Cable in place of a real serial
port.) This test confirms that the cable, the computer serial port, and the PTT circuitry in the
RIGblaster Pro are working properly together. Look for additional information on the support
pages if using Windows/ME. www.westmountainradio.com
DO NOT proceed to the next step of the installation
if this step FAILS. (Except when using
USB Interface Cable.)
