Specifications
Synchronization
TRX-Manager can synchronize - via an RS232 port - between the transceiver under the
control of TRX-Manager and any external device or software which supports Kenwood ICOM
K3 protocols:
A logging program with CAT Control, PowerSDR-IF (a port mapping software is required or
a null modem and two free serial ports)
An external device: Tokyo HP, SPE, ICOM PW1 amplifiers, Antenna Tuners...,
The SteppIR controller (supported with a specific setup)
By default, synchronization follows the Main transceiver only. However, if SO4R is checked,
synchronization follows the Operating transceiver (provided Synchro mode has been enabled
for this transceiver)..
From Setup , you can choose to synchronize up to 8 different controllers : i.e a SteppIR beam
under Synchro 1 and a software under Synchro 2 (Synchro A tab). However, controllers #2
to #8 (Synchro B tab) require to be set up with Kenwood protocol only.
Settings
1) Synchro A tab of Setup (Synchro 1 or Synchro 2) must be set up with the desired
Protocol (ICOM, ICPW1, Kenwood, SteppIR, K3), Serial port and Speed.
Synchro for SteppIR (native mode) selected for Com1/19200 bds (Synchro A)
2) If more than 2 controllers are required, you fill in Synchro B tab for up to 6 additional com
ports using the Kenwood protocol.
3) Synchronization is activated for any transceiver for which Synchro option is checked
under Preferences/Transceivers/Rotator...
Synchro option - if required - must be checked for each transceiver (Preferences)
