SSC-XL Deluxe Station Controller Congratulations on your purchase of the SSC-XL Deluxe Station Controller from 4O3A. The SSC-XL is the most complete easy-to-use amateur ra!io station controller a"ailable. $t is !esigne! for high performance %ith future expansion capability. The SSC-XL can %or& as a stan!-alone controller. $t is programmable by a 'C application. (ou can control it %ith an optional external &eyboar! or it may be connecte! to a 'C "ia a )SB cable for !es&top control of "irtually any !e"ice in your station. We hope that you will enjoy your new SSC-XL!
