Getting to know your DTS-6
Your DTS-6 is a quality, precision instrument that will give you many years of outstanding
service; take a few minutes to get to know it. On the front panel there are six buttons and six LED
indicator lights. The six buttons select the six antennas connected to the rear ports. Pressed in
pairs, they select special functions.
The red LEDs show which antenna is presently selected. For special functions, they blink in
groups of two or six.
The DTS-6 has no power switch. It powers up when you plug it into the DC supply, and draws
current continuously. When no antenna is selected (that is, all inputs are grounded) the current
draw is relatively low.
On the rear panel, there are seven SO-239 RF connectors. The center connector (
TX
) is the output
to your rig. The other six go to any coax-fed antenna, or to a dummy load.
