WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE OPERATING THE RIGblaster FROM 12 V DC?
This is not an issue with the nomic as it is powered directly from the serial port. With the RIGblaster pro and Plus, as with any 12 VDC station accessory, it is extremely important to have a solid and reliable 12 V negative return connection for your radio’s power feed. If the negative lead powering your radio accidently becomes disconnected and a RIGblaster or other station accessory is connected directly to that same 12 V power supply negative connection, 20 amps or more will go through part of the RIGblaster and through a circuit in your radio that wasn’t designed for that much current. That may burn out the RIGblaster and possibly your radio, voiding warranties. Carefully follow the simple precautions on our support page and the instructions provided with our DC cord set. Using the wall cubes that we supply with 120V and 230V RIGblasters you do not have to worry about this. Wall cubes are separate power supplies, independent of your other power supply providing full ground isolati
