In Local Programming Mode the front panel PROGRAM LED is steady on
(non-flashing) and the transmitter remains off. Each time you make
a programming entry the results are displayed on the front panel
display (rather than a DTMF transpond) for validation.
Command Syntax: When programming, you will enter programming
sequences such as *nnn#09#mm#. (This particular command programs a
users first character of CW ID). Or, *nnn#01#J#. (This command
enables or disables a users courtesy beep).
In each case nnn defines the user number (001-154). See TABLE 2 to
determine user Number vs Tone/Code, mm is a choice which you may
supply and J is always 1 for enable or 0 for disable.
De-limiters (separators) are used to segregate data fields. Every
command you program begins with * and then the delimiters that
follow are the # symbol.
Leading zeros: Data fields such as nnn, mm, mmmmmm etc. require
that you enter the number of digits specified. Numbers which have
fewer digits than the field calls for will require leading zeros.
Example: An nnn (User Number) field requires three digits. You
would enter user number 6 as 006 or user number 84 as 084.
Local Display: The front panel display is active during local or
remote programming. The * and # delimiters are displayed as - and
|| because the display cannot show the * and #. Each time you
enter a delimiter the previous information is blanked and the
delimiter plus data that follows is displayed. For example: The
command *013#09#20# would appear as: -013, ||09, ||20.
Remote Data Downloading: The TP-154 will transpond a DTMF
validation code each time you send a programming command from your
radio and each time you send a specific request for data. These
codes will appear on your CD-2 Communications Decoder Unit exactly
as they appear on the TP-154 front panel display and give you
positive feedback about data entry and how your TP-154 is
programmed. The command syntax for data feedback is shown in the
programming lists. Also see "Interpretation of CD-2 Display Data
on page 15. The left two digits give you the parameter number and
the right two digits show the programmed data.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PURCHASE A COMPANION CD-2 AS A
PROGRAMMING AID FOR YOUR TP-154'S!!
Understanding the programming format: Following is a typical line
