3.

Operating the TA-8.

All required antenna connections have been made before shipping
the TA-8. Please do not disconnect any antenna at any time.

NOTE

The TA-8 requires a radio line of sight (LOS) to work correctly. It
may be used in other non-LOS situations but the operating
distance could be significantly reduced.

3.1 The only operator control is the frequency setting on each DX604.

Please DO NOT refer to the DX604 manual and attempt to
configure the DX604’s differently. Doing so could result in the
TA-8 becoming non-functional.

The following command sets the frequency of a DX604:

<FREQ> <ENTER> tunes in to the desired frequency. The <*> key is
used as a decimal point.

The DX604 tuning range is from 2400 MHz to 2483 MHz (2150 to
2500 MHz with Option 4).
E.G.:
2412<ENTER> tunes a DX604 to 2.412GHz.
The tuned-in frequency appears on the top left of the LCD.

If <FREQ> is out of the tuning range, the receiver will display
“INVALID” and default to the last valid tuned-in frequency.
E.G.:
912<ENTER> is beyond the tuning range of the DX604 and will be
rejected.


If the frequency is valid, it is saved even when power is turned off. If
the display and the bargraph’s are blinking, it is an indication that the
input voltage is below 10.5V. In this case, to prevent corrupted data
being stored, any new setting of the DX604 will NOT be saved. The
last setting made when power was good will be retained.
