DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables
DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables connect the "ground on transmit" or contact closure provided by the radio that is required to make an HF amplifier switch from "receive mode" to "transmit and amplify mode" when using PTT (push-to-talk), VOX or break-in CW keying. DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables are made for specific transceiver models that have special DIN or mini-DIN connector accessory ports which provide the transceiver's only connections for linear amplifier keying. One type of amplifier keying cable has one RCA phono plug for the amplifier relay jack, which is all that is needed. When the transceiver PTT (push-to-talk) is keyed, the RCA plug center pin is connected to the shield (and chassis ground in most cases) to key the amp relay or its solid state keying circuit. Instead of a direct connection to the amp relay, the RCA plug may be connected to the keying input of an accessory device (DXE-KEYLINE-3, DXE-RTR-2 or DXE-NCC-2), amplifier keying interface (DXE-SV-KR or legacy Ameritron ARB-704 or KD9SV Products SV-KR) or other amp keying line interrupt device, such as a meter or an array controller. Each has a keying input and a keying output for the amplifier relay or another accessory. Another type of amplifier keying cable has two RCA phono plugs, one RED plug for the amplifier relay jack and one WHITE plug for ALC (Automatic Level Control) voltage from the amplifier. The legacy ALC connection does not need to be used with present era solid state transceivers and most modern amplifiers. ALC was required for use on transmitters with tube finals. Some modern amplifiers do not have an ALC output connector. If the amplifier does not have ALC it is okay to leave the WHITE plug disconnected. Order your DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables to connect to your transceiver accessory port for keying amplifiers, sequencers, receive-transmit interfaces, buffer relays, and other accessories. NOTE: To enable the function of this keying cable, some late model Kenwood transceivers require menu activation of the amplifier keying circuit.

DX Engineering RG-174 50-ohm Hi-Viz Orange Mini Coaxial Assemblies
DX Engineering RG-174 50-ohm Hi-Viz Orange Mini Coaxial Cable Assemblies feature high quality BNC male connectors. An easy-to-see orange jacket on this extremely thin, 0.11 inch diameter, super flexible cable is a smart choice for SOTA, POTA and other quick-deploy portable antennas that are fed with a 25, 35 or 50 ft. length. These 1.5, 3 and 6 ft. coax assemblies in orange are easy to identify on the test bench and behind the radio for QRP and receive only connections. How is this a good choice? CLICK the cable to see the product page. The OVERVIEW has a Loss Chart with interesting info. The efficiency of this amazingly thin coaxial cable is unexpectedly good, adding slightly more attenuation for a given length as compared to larger, heavier coax on HF. For typical applications with portable antennas and equipment interconnections, the losses are inconsequential on the HF bands with the cable lengths offered. A typical portable antenna used with a 25 ft. cable has 0.73dB loss on 14 MHz (20M band) which represents only 15% loss. An extreme example is with a 50 foot DXE-174VDB050 cable used on a 10 meter (28 MHz) antenna has just over 2dB attenuation. Even this power loss of 38% results in an imperceptible difference at the receiving end of a radio contact. Losses are insignificant with DXE-174V cable assemblies on HF bands, especially with 1.5, 3 and 6 ft. length jumpers, or with 25 and 35 ft. cables. Use DX Engineering RG-174 50-ohm Hi-Viz Orange Mini Coaxial Assemblies for HF POTA and SOTA antennas that are easier to wrap up, carry, install and pack up. They're ready for your HF portable operations and much more! NOTE: These cable assemblies are NOT intended to be used for long lengths on VHF or UHF antennas, on frequencies above 50 MHz with significant loss.
