REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
The DAC OUT does not have a constant voltage to control the TX mode, so it is necessary to
use an additional control line while you use the DAC OUT in the TX mode. For this you may use
any EXT CTRL key (more details in EXT CTRL devices ).
3.8 DAC OUT low power output
The DAC OUT is the transceiver's low-power output, which functions in the wide frequency
band. It could be used for connection of external power amplifiers, transverters and as a source
of measuring signal.
To use the DAC OUT enable it in the antenna switch .
DAC OUT output parameters:
Max output power: 10 mW
Frequency band: 0.1...150 MHz
Transmitted signal band: 20 kHz
Impedance: 50 Ohm
Signal level: +10 dBm (max)
3.9 ADC IN and RX OUT
The ADC IN connector is the direct receiver input, bypassing Band Pass Filters (BPFs). Use
the ADC IN for connection of RX antennas, transverters, additional BPFs, preamplifiers,
attenuators etc.
Note:
·
The signal from ADC IN connector goes directly to the ADC input and may be amplified by
the +10dB preamplifier, if you set it in the software.
·
ATT is disabled when you use ADC IN alone, without RX OUT.
·
When you select ADC IN in ExpertSDR2, A3 antenna input is still working and can pick up
some strong stations, A1 and A2 inputs are completely disabled.
Warning!
i
Maximum allowed signal level on the RX IN connector is 0.3V of the active
voltage (RMS). Do not exceed this level, it may result in the transceivers overload
and ADC fatal damage.
The RX OUT connector is the output of the transceivers receive path. When the ADC IN is
enabled, the signal received on the HF path from the active antenna input, goes to the RX OUT.
