Specifications

processor/buffer - THEREFORE - some functions like HOME or CALIBRATE do not always work as
expected. PLEASE note the appropriate information in these instructions:

If the controller opens Setup while you press Home or Calibrate on screen please switch Power
Off/On on controller to resume (a power OFF/ON sequence is always recommended before you
start any communication),

If Calibrate retracts elements and stops here, press Interface to re-enable the transceiver
interface.

Interface does work between ~8.55MHz and ~9.15 MHz (see options, depends on firmware)

The first time 12v is applied to the controller AMATEUR and GENERAL FREQ settings may be
shifted (depends on firmware) : workaround is to select AMATEUR mode before you select
GENRERAL FREQ
The null modem cable must ABSOLUTELY have no connections other than pins 2,3 and 5. SteppIR
put signals used for test and alignment on the other pins and USE OF A STANDARD "FULL
HANDSHAKE" NULL MODEM CABLE WILL FAIL.
Synchronizing a third party device or a software
The principle is the following: for the serial port selected under Synchro A/B tabs,
TRX-Manager behaves like a Kenwood or ICOM or K3 transceiver whatever the rig under the
control of TRX-Manager. You must connect this serial port using a null modem cable to the
unit (or the software) configured for Kenwood or ICOM protocol.
The corresponding unit or software must have support for Kenwood/ICOM/K3 protocol. If the
controller is a software running on the same computer, you need one additional free serial port
+ a null-modem cable or you can use a serial port mapping software like VSPE.

Tip
ETERLOGIC's VSPE Service (Virtual Serial Port Emulator) can be used to create a PAIR of virtual
ports. VSPE can be started as a service using NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager)
Synchronizing a software
The logging program must have support for Kenwood or ICOM Transceivers and you need two
free serial ports on your computer + a null-modem cable. You may also use a different
computer or, while often more critical, a port mapping software which creates at least two
virtual com ports and a virtual null-modem connection (see Eterlogic VSPE).
The principle is the following: for the serial port selected under Synchro A tab, depending on
your selection (Kenwood or ICOM) and/or Synchro B tab (Kenwood), TRX-Manager behaves
like a Kenwood or ICOM transceiver whatever the rig under the control of TRX-Manager ; you
must connect this serial port to the serial port configured from your logging program with a
null modem-cable.
Unless specified below, the Kenwood protocol is recommanded to synchronize a third party
program.
Example
You control an FT-1000MP with TRX-Manager and COM1. Your logging program is configured for
Kenwood and COM2. TRX-Manager's Synchro A tab is configured for Kenwood and COM3. COM2
