VHF FM MOBILE TRANSCEIVER Dealer’s Manual Alinco’s DR-135 transceivers support the Channel Indication mode (User’s mode), which protects dealer-defined parameter settings from being changed by the user. This manual describes the functions available in the Channel Indication mode and the procedures for configuring the transceiver. It also covers the instructions for installing and using the DR-135 Channel Data Editor software.

1. Channel Indication Mode When the transceiver is in the Channel Indication mode, some functions are completely disabled, some are programmable only with the Channel Data Editor software (not programmable with the transceiver switches), and others are left available. The following table lists the functions provided with the DR135 transceiver. Those marked with“◎”remains active in the Channel Indication mode.
2. Configuring the Transceiver as a Channel-Indication-Mode Unit You can set the transceiver in the Channel Indication mode either by: • Setting the pad (BP4) on the printed circuit board of the transceiver (see “2.1 Setting Up the Transceiver with the Pad BP4”); OR • Using the DR-135 Channel Data Editor (see “2.2 Setting Up the Transceiver with the Data Editor”). The CH Data Editor is useful when you want to set up two or more transceivers.
2.1 Setting UP the Transceiver with the Pad BP4 Before you put the transceiver in the Channel Indication mode, be sure to program the radio’s channel memories following the instructions in the Instruction Manual provided with the radio. There are additional parameters that can be programmed manually but are not explained in the Instruction Manual: for information about these parameters, see “Appendix A” on page 15. To set up the DR-135 1.
2.2 Setting Up the Transceiver with the CH Data Editor This section describes how to configure the transceiver as a Data-Indicationmode unit with the CH Data Editor software. The function of “Appendix A” (on page 15) can be programmed only through CH Data Editor software. To set up the transceiver with the CH Data Editor: 1. Connect the COM port (Dsub connector) on your computer to the external speaker jack on the transceiver with the ERW-4 or ERW-4C interface cable.
2.3 Setting UP the Transceiver with the EJ-39D trunking logic board. 1. Turn the transceiver off. 2. Remove the bottom cover. Connect the EJ-39D to CN101 on the DR-135 circuit board. 3. Refit the bottom cover in the proper position.
3. DR-135 Channel Data Editor The DR-135 Channel Data Editor is used to edit data, which includes the operation parameters for the transceiver and the settings for each channel. This software is useful when you wish to program two or more transceivers in similar ways; You can read the existing data from a master transceiver, edit the parameters on the editor, and enter the changes in other transceivers. 3.
3. To start the DR-135 Data Editor, at the DOS prompt, type: DR135.EXE or, DR135 The main menu will appear. Note: • To exit the Data Editor, press the F2 key, select the “Quite Editor (Q)” option, and type Y. 3.3 Setting the Channel Data (Main Menu) On the main menu, you can set the parameters for each channel. To move the cursor between the fields, use the cursor keys. To select an option in each field, press the space bar. To enter a numeric value, use the numeric keys.
Rx Freq: Set the reception frequency. CTCSS / DCS: Set the CTCSS/DCS decoder frequency. Use the Space key to select CTCSS/DCS-off. Press the Enter key from the selected mode to open the “CTCSS tone or DCS code selection screen”. W/N: Set the operating mode (Wide/Narrow). DGT: Set the packet or APRS operation on or off. DCS DET: Set the DCS decoder detect operation on or off. Only set this to “ON” when the DCS decoder is operating incorrectly. SCN SKP: Turn the scan skip on or off.
3.4 Changing the Transceiver Settings You can also set the transceiver parameters to stay on throughout the transceiver operation regardless of the channel currently selected. 1) On the main menu, press the F3 key, 2) select the “Radio Option (R)” option and press the Enter key to open the “Edit option data” window, 3) set the operation parameters in the window (a detailed description of the fields follows this procedure), 4) when you complete your settings, press the F4 key to close the window.
Time out timer: Turn the TOT (Time Out Timer) off, or select a transmission time by pressing the space bar. You can reverse the order of the options by holding down the Shift key and pressing the space key is key. The time out timer starts working when the pressed. When the timer expires, the transceiver will automatically shut the transmission off. Time out penalty: Turn the TOT penalty off, or select the penalty time.
Note: 2. • To exit the Data Editor, press the F2 key, select the “Quite Editor (Q)” option, and type Y. Setting the Channel Data(Main Menu)for Trunking Only following items can be programmed in Data Editor (Trunking mode). CH Data Edtor Version 1.00 Trunking Mode BANK-Ch: Select the desired channel (from 1-01 through 1-16), (from 2-01 through 2-16) (from 3-01 through 3-16), (from 4-01 through 416), (from 5-01 through 5-16) and (from C-01 through C-16) by using the up or down cursor keys.
3. Changing the Editor option data for Trunking. Set followings by F3 key in main menu. SQL No: Selects the initial setting value for the squelch level. TX POWER: Select the output power. APO: Turn the auto-power-off feature on or off. LAMP Mode: Set the lighting mode (High or Low). 3.7 Writing the Data in the Transceiver When you complete editing, store the new data in the transceiver memory.
3.8 Reading the Existing Data from the Transceiver You can read the data currently stored in the transceiver memory. Caution: • Make sure the COM port (Dsub connector) on the PC is connected to the external speaker jack on the radio with the interface cable (ERW4 or ERW-4C). If not, turn off the computer and transceiver before connecting the cable. To read the data from the transceiver: 1. On the main menu, press the F4 key. A window will open on the lowerright of the screen. 2.
4. Operation with EJ-39D After Installation of EJ-39D, some function and operation will be changed as follows: TX power Change: Press the CALL key. (at Enable setting) BANK Change: Press the V/M key. Group Change: Press the MHz key. Conventional Mode: Press the TS/DCS key. Note: • Refer to the Instruction manual of EJ-39D for the function. Microphone will be muted while FUNC key is pushed when transmitting in adjustment mode of EJ-39D.(Use this function for modulation adjustment.
Appendix．A A.1 Automatic Numbering Identification (ANI) This feature allows the transceiver to automatically send the programmed DTMF codes (up to 16 digits) just after the key is pressed and/or released so that the base station can identify the unit. Two auto dialer memories, Nos. 8 and 9, are reserved for the ANI transmission. You can enable or disable the ANI function by using the Channel Data Editor software. • When memory No.
A.3 Displayable Characters List of Alphanumeric characters for Name operation Note: 16 • Display in ( ) is the P.C. Display when inputting from PC CH Data Editor. Input pushing Shift key.
