What radios do you own?: Way too many...

Double check on my Consolette setup

Post by unlisted »

So, I've read through the RCH3000, CDN1337A and the Astro Spectra Consolette manuals- and its mostly still greek to me.

I did however get them all to (finally) play nice this evening- in other words- I made them all work! :)

Now, before I go transmitting, I was wondering if anyone would be able to offer me some assistance, to make sure I am not about to blow anything up...

Equipment I have:

Astro Spectra Consolette W9 version (no control head)
RCH3000
CDN1337A Digital Junction Box
(and of course, all necessary power cables/wires, DB25 and CAT cable..)

I know the CDN1337A plugs into accessory 2 on the consolette- where should I plug in the RCH3000 on the junction box?

Also curious- what settings should all the DIP switches be set to in the consolette? (and, are there any in the junction box? I saw a reference to the possibility- but I don't want to start tearing into things if I don't need to...)

And finally- when its all plugged in and working- how the heck do I turn the power off? (other than unplugging it...)

Sorry, its late, I've been up far too long, and I am sure i missed quite a few things in the manual. Please go easy on me. Thanks for any advice/tips in advance.

If you do a search, you should be able to find manuals on both the RCH3000 console and the CDN1337 digital junction box. I am not familiar with the digital junction box you have. But the normal connections would be any port except the expansion port. The normal junction box used is a L3208A or one of the variations of it.
