Specifications
If the commands are documented using ASCII numbers - like chr$(044) - you have to
translate ASCII commands into HEXA Decimal: 44 (ascii) = 2C (hexa)...
Example: This format must be used with the ProXR Series Relay Controllers, this video by

Using the band decoder
There is only ONE Band decoder ; it is selectable (on/off) for each Transceiver (TRX1-4)
from the Rotator/Ant/Misc tab of the Preferences/Transceiver.
The Monitoring must always be active in order to update the band data for the Band you are
using. However, depending on your transceiver and the way you use the software, this
information may be transmitted with a delay or may be erroneous: please perform many tests
before "going live" and make sure the desired switching is done correctly before transmitting.
Sending macro commands to the band decoder (LPT or COM port) is possible. You must use
the syntax explained above, however, in that case (only), the command must be inserted
inside square brackets (no space before or after the square brackets). Example: [11110000]
or [AS103_]. If the macro command is not inserted inside square brackets, it is sent to the
transceiver!
Notes and possible problems
LPT Ports not supported
Windows 8/64bits :
Under recent versions of Windows 8/64 bits, the (third party) LPT
driver may not work.
USB/LPT converters: the drivers writen for the USB/LPT converters are rarely
compatible with the use of a band decoder (PINS 2-9 are not programmable).
In both cases, since these problems are related to the way a third party drivers is writen, it is not
possible to fix TRX-Manager. The best way to set up a band decoder is to use an RS232 compatible
device: now, many exist on the market.
Drivers not found or not installed
Please login as administrator and reinstall the program; don't forget to reboot your computer
to complete the installation.
