Specifications
Band Plan
TRX-Manager implements various functions related to the Band Plan. When you run
TRX-Manager for the first time, you are prompted to define your IARU region:
Region 1: Africa, Europe, Russia, Middle East (excluding Iran) and Mongolia.
Region 2: North and South America including Hawaii, Johnston and Midway Is.
Region 3: The rest of Asia and Oceania.
You may set Preferences for each band such as Mode and miscellaneous parameters (
Antenna, Rotator, Tuner, Power...) under the Preferences/Transceivers dialog:
Band plan editing (Preferences)
Band Plans for each IARU region are provided as CSV files (region1.csv region2.csv
region3.csv). The Open button lets you load/change a band plan by selecting the
appropriate file. Once your Region is selected, your default band plan is saved under
bandplan.csv.
You may edit bandplan.csv from Excel or edit the band plan from the Preferences dialog,
under Band Plan . Please make sure you describe the entire spectrum with no error
or frequency holes:
Click a line to edit; clicking the Save button saves the changes.
The Add button (+) adds an empty line (0-0 MHz LSB) for editing.
Specific fields
Comment field will be displayed by the Monitoring
HAM check box defines the segments for which transmission is allowed. TRX-Manager does not
prevent you from transmitting outside HAM segments but displays a warning message (OUT
OF BAND ).
Type indicates the type of transmission (Phone, CW, Data, BCL, Air...). It is more accurate than
Mode. It allows precise DX Spots filtering and graphical display of the type of transmission (by
Icons) in the Quick Memories module .
The B-DCD field is optional and related to the Band Decoder : If the Band decoder's Segment
option is checked (under Setup/Band Data), this field provides the command required to
control the band decoder for each segment.
80a/80b or 10a/10m band option
The Band Decoder offers an option to split either the 80m or the 10m band in two segments. See
Parameters/Setup/LPT and define the limit between the two segments.
