- 486 PC or better, MS-Windows 3.1 © or later
- T800win programming kit for Series II:
- PGM800Win programming software user's manual

6.3.2 Module Programming
Before starting programming, have a PC running MS-Windows © and the Tait PGM800Win
software for Series II Base station.
This program supports the use of a mouse but may be used without one if required. Keyboard
access follows the conventional MS-Windows © method as briefly described below:
- Press and hold the “Alt” key while pressing at the same time the relevant hotkey as indicated
by an underlined letter on the menu command.
- On a drop-down menu, press only the hotkey without pressing the “Alt” key.
- Use the “Tab” key to cycle available fields and the “Enter” key to validate entries. E.g.
Pressing “Alt”+F opens the File drop-down menu and pressing “A” opens the Save As di-
rectory service box.
Receiver VCO and front-end alignment will be required when new receiver frequency is pro-
grammed outside the radio tuning range:
UHF = ± 2.5 MHz from previous center frequency.
VHF = ± 1.5 MHz from previous center frequency.
Exciter and PA alignment will be required when new transmitter frequency is programmed out-
side the radio tuning range:
VHF & UHF= ± 4 MHz from previous center frequency.
1. Connect the PC, via the supplied programming lead, to the speaker panel’s front-mounted
RJ11 connector.
2. Run Tait PGM800Win program and follow instructions found in the T800 Programming
Software User’s Manual to select the proper module to be programmed.
3. Program required channel's frequencies.
– Do not program any CTCSS tones on channels.
– Do not change any other parameters.
– Refer to Figure 23, Figure 24, Figure 25 and Figure 26 for screen program examples.
4. Save the base station programming info to a file for further reference.
