2 - IMPORTANT WARNINGS
ALWAYS check the polarity of the 13.8 V power supply.
Remember, under Windows, microHAM USB Device Router must be running
anytime the interface is used (not just for setup). If Router is not running, the
virtual COM ports will disappear and the device cannot be accessed!

(16) RX RADIO1: Disables automatic headphone switching if it was enabled (switch to manual mode) and
connect headphones to RADIO1.
(17) RX RADIO2: Disables automatic headphone switching if it was enabled (switch to manual mode) and
connect headphones to RADIO2.
NOTE: A short press on BOTH R1 (16) and R2 (17) will select the left channel (usually main RX)
from Radio 1 to the left ear and the left channel (usually the main RX) from Radio 2 to the right ear.
A long press of BOTH R1 (16) and R2 (17) at the same time enables automatic headphone
switching (AUTO mode). If enabled, the yellow AUTO light will be lit; the R1 (4) and R2 (6) lights
indicate receive focus.
(18) TX R1/R2: A short press alternately selects transmission on RADIO1 or RADIO 2 and disables
automatic control of transmit focus if it was enabled. A long press enables automatic control of
transmit focus (selected transmitter).
(19) CW SPEED: Provides manual control of the WinKeyer2.
Minimum and Maximum speeds are defined by software.
(20) CW: Indicates the CW output is active.
(21) RADIO 1: Adjusts drive level to RADIO1.
