Overview

West Mountain Radio RIGblaster DXpro Digital Mode and Rig Control Interfaces

West Mountain Radio RIGblaster DXpro Digital Mode and Rig Control Interfaces feature dual high-performance sound cards to simultaneously monitor main and sub receivers. You can run digital mode programs on each channel, so they're perfect for SO2V/SO2R. As a combination audio and rig control interface, operating your favorite digital mode program simultaneously with your favorite logging program is easy. The included DXpro application provides on screen configuration of most software options.

Seven pre-wired ISC jumper blocks are included to take care of microphone connections to most Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood, Elecraft & Alinco radios. The RIGblaster DXpro lets you record voice keying wave files using your radio's own microphone.

Built-in Rig Control features independent fully implemented CAT. Optional inversion to TTL and RS232 outputs and an external pass-through USB jack make for super convenient connection of any type of control to accessories!
