Dual head setup question

Post by Pj »

What is required to get a funcitional dual head setup? Can I just use standard remote radio cable, or does it have to be specific cable? I know that the orange/green leads are not brought out...

On the regular non-Astro Spectra we've used a regular cable/head set-up on the second DB-25 (under the handle) with no problems. If I remember right, the volume control/mode rockers affect both heads equally.

These were A5/7 heads. If you use the A9s, I would guess you would have to put the heads one at a time on the correct DB-25 to get them programmed, then split them out on the DB-25s.

Just my 2 pesos worth.....
