Specifications

LPT Band Switch (default = BAND Checked)
The length of each string is limited to 8 characters.
The band decoder can also be used to send the Transceiver Number to the LPT port (see
also SO4R) by configuring the BCD code with with a b c d parameters ; in addition and for
compatibility with some applications, TRX-Manager sends Transceiver number (1/3 or 2/4) to
Pin 14 .
The band decoder can be used in conjunction with the linear reminder to control a linear
amplifier relay ; in that case, you define _ for the state of the corresponding pin (i.e: 0100_
abc, pin 6 is not used by the band decoder and can be selected to control the linear amplifier
relay).
RS232 Commands
The band decoder is conceived to send any numbers of characters. You have to choose
between ASCII format and HEXA decimal format. ASCII is the default but Hexadecimal is
mandatory if you have to send non printable characters other than CR.
ASCII format (default)
Default values are compatible with the MicroHam MK2R controller however, depending on
how the accessory port is wired, you may have to adjust these commands for each band (or
segment). You may also write specific ASCII commands for any other RS232 compatible
device.
To send a carriage return, use the underscore character _. TRX-Manager will replace any
underscore with a carrage return (<CR>). Example AS103_ : AS103<CR> is sent.
Hexadecimal format (HEX)
You write the commands using the hexadecimal format: Example 0F011A
