NCE Booster from ph-pro
Posted by bagal on Thursday, March 4, 2021 2:05 AM

Hi all

Anyone know if I can convert a ph-pro to a plain booster.I (might) need a booster and have a spare ph-pro on hand, so if easy enough to convert I could use as a booster?

Regards to all

 I would say yes - the right half of the box is the command station, the left half is the booster. Just don't connect the short control bus cable from the right to the left, and also make sure the cab bus connector on the right is not used so there is only one command station on the network. Run a control bus cable out of the booster with the command station to one of the two control bus connectors on the one you are going to use as booster only. ANd run a heavy common wire (size of your bus wire) between the case screws on both units.
