New Product Showcase: RIGblaster DXpro Sound Card Interface from West Mountain Radio

Whether you’re interested in chasing DX with weak-signal modes, RTTY and SSB contesting, or operating remotely over the internet, you’ll want to take a serious look at the RIGblaster DXpro sound card interface from West Mountain Radio—now available from DX Engineering.

Combining dual sound cards and advanced software-controlled features, the RIGblaster DXpro works with all sound card based digital mode programs and logging software. The high-performance sound cards allow simultaneous monitoring of main and sub receivers. You can run digital mode programs on each channel, making it an excellent choice for SO2V/SO2R.
