48scable.jpg
Used in PSK31 transceiver to sound-card interface, this shielded, twin cable has two, 3.5mm stereo connectors on one end. When using with PSK31, SSTV, RTTY, and Packet Sound card interfaces, only the "tip" of each connector is used; The "ring" is not used. NOTE that a large ferrite core is molded into each line near the sound card end of the cable. This is another means of preventing noise and RF feedback between the transceiver and the PC sound card.

Twin cable is 48 inches (4 ft) long.

AMPLIFIED   SPEAKER
A "BUX Best Buy" top quality, brand name.

A great addition to the HAM shack as an audio signal tracer, or for hand-held transceivers.  Just add 12 volts DC, and plug it into the external speaker jack, and you have sound that is better than full sized transceiver speakers.  Use it with your "hand-held" in the mobile.  This amplified speaker delivers 8 watts of audio. 

Hook-up is simple;  Connect the Orange wire (with 2 amp fuse, and holder supplied) to 12 volts DC.  Black lead to ground.  The other pair of wires go to low level (150 to 200 mV) audio or to the external speaker jack. Comes complete with a durable mounting bracket, hardware, red LED power-ON indicator and volume control.  Size is approximately 6"w X 4"h
New, in original carton.
