2.4.1.1. Back panel connections
Antenna - Connect an HF antenna with nominal 50 Ohm impedance to the SO-239 connector.
Note
If you prefer BNC connector you can remove HAMlab top cover and reconnect it from SO-239 to BNC.
Ground - Remove the thumb screw marked GND. Connect your central station ground to the thumb
screw and screw it back into the radio.
Speakers - connect powered stereo speakers to the jack
Tip
You can instead of speakers connect headphones on the front panel.
USB cable (3) - connect the HAMlab with the PC using USB 2.0 Cable - A-Male to Mini-B. USB cable will
provide a way for PowerSDR software to use HAMlabs audio outputs. USB cable for audio is only
required for HAMlab 80-10 10W model.
Ethernet Connection (4) - connect the HAMlab to your local network using Ethernet cable
HAMlab should be powered by DC 13.8V Power Supply that can provide at least 4 A of constant power.
Make sure that is turned off and then use DC power cord with Anderson Power Pole™ connector (1) to
connect it with HAMlab. RED wire is positive (+) while BLACK wire is negative (-), double check to not
mix the colors or polarity! Don't turn on the power supply yet.
Mount Rx filters bypass BNC loopback cable from RX1 IN to RX1 OUT (2).
Note
Other connections are at the moment not important, you can read more about them later in the Back
panel controls and connections section.
