Operations Manual

WITS Cable and Setup D-Tech has developed a custom WITS cable ( Figure 6 ) to transmit data from the WITS feed source to the WITS decoder, see image below, this can be used to also split/share the WITS feed with another PC. If the WITS feed is to be shared, then the red switch on the splitter box should be in the ON position.
