and COM3 are connected using a null-modem cable. Now TRX-Manager is under the control of your
logging program like if it is a Kenwood transceiver...
Depending on the program you use (and how it polls TRX-Manager and the flow of data
exchanged), connecting two serial ports on the same computer may be critical and can slow
down TRX-Manager.
Kenwood mode
This mode should be always selected to synchronize a logging software.
If you select Kenwood as protocol under Synchro A or enable any of the 6 available com ports
under Synchro B, TRX-Manager behaves like a basic Kenwood transceiver (TS-440 TS-450 or
similar) for the defined serial port. A null-modem connection must be used to connect the
controller (i.e an other computer running a logging program or any device such as amplifier,
antenna tuner...).
Supported settings are:

Speed 4800 Bds, StopBits = 2, Parity None, Protocol = None

Speed 9600-57600Bds, StopBits = 1, Parity None, Protocol = None
Recommended setup for the third party software is TS-450.
TRX-Manager automatically notifies its status changes using the IF string. IF, FA, FB, FR, FT,
FN, SP, MD, SM, ID commands issued by the controller are processed.
ICOM & ICPW1 mode
It is best to select this mode to synchronize an external ICOM compatible device. If you
synchronize an ICOM IC-PW1 linear amplifier, it is recommended to select ICPW1 .
TRX-Manager behaves like a basic ICOM transceiver (IC-725 IC-726 or similar) for the defined
serial port. A null-modem cable must be used to connect a computer (i.e to synchronize a
logging program...) while a normal cable must be used to synchronize an ICOM compatible
device (Transceiver, Amplifier...) at a TTL level through a CT17 (or compatible) interface.
Supported settings are: Speed 4800-57600 Bds, StopBits = 1 or 2, Parity None, Protocol =
None. Transceiver's address and controller's address (generally E0 or 00) must be specified.
TRX-Manager only notifies mode and frequency changes (It only supports mode, frequency
and VFO changes). If you need more advanced features, please use the Kenwood protocol.
K3 mode (synchro with NaP3)
If you select K3, TRX-Manager behaves like an Elecraft K3 transceiver on its Synchro port.
This selection should be only used to synchronise PowerSDF-IF Stage or NAp3 and
TRX-Manager (LP-Bridge not required in that case).
Note
TRX-Manager's K3 synchro mode does not behave 100% like a K3 (useful commands but not all are
supported) and it is NOT a bridge either, however, it is running much faster than a bridge since it
