COMPUTER CONTROL
By connecting this transceiver to a computer, you can
change the computer into an electronic console from
which you can remotely control functions of the
transceiver. This capability makes remote operation
of your transceiver possible from across the room,
from another room, or when coupled with other
commercially available products and where lawful,
from another city, state, or country via a telephone
connection.
Note:
◆
You can use the front panel controls while using computer
control. Settings done from the front panel are effective
immediately.
◆
After the computer is disconnected or turned off, all values and
settings on the front panel are restored.
SETTING UP
■
Equipment Needed
•
A PC equipped with an RS-232C serial port.
•
One straight cable. This cable must have a 9-pin
D-Sub RS-232C female connector at one end, and
at the other end a 9-pin or a 25-pin D-Sub
RS-232C female connector that mates with the
RS-232C port of your computer.
•
Transceiver control application.
To design your programs, consult “APPENDIX” for the
necessary information.
■
Connections
Connecting the transceiver to the computer is easy.
See the diagram given in “CONNECTING
PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT” {page 93}.
Note: Before connecting this transceiver to the computer, switch
OFF the power to both the transceiver and the computer.
COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
In order to control the transceiver by computer, you
must first choose the communication parameters.
1 On the computer, configure your transceiver
control application for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and
no parity.
2 On the transceiver, select the same transfer rate
and number of stop bits via Menu No. 56.
•
The defaults are 9600 bps and 1 stop bit.
Note: To reliably use the 38400 or 57600 bps transfer rates, the
RS-232C port of the computer must support these high-speed
communications parameters.

microphone as a wired remote control unit as

1 Plug the DTMF microphone into the microphone
connector of the transceiver.

Normally, pressing [2] cycles through Tone, CTCSS, DCS, and
OFF. However, if 1750 Hz is selected for Tone, pressing [2] will
only transmit the 1750 Hz tone. To return to Tone/ CTCSS/ DCS
mode, you must first deselect 1750 Hz for Tone.

Press [D] to enter FUNC mode, to use the 2nd function of the
DTMF keys. Pressing [D] while in FUNC mode will exit FUNC
mode.
