OPR/SBY
If Control (Control by) is activated, the Linear Reminder provides a Standby/Operate
function which may help to prevent from transmitting with the linear on prohibited segments or
just after band changes or above a critical drive power. Since TRX-Manager does not control
your linear amplifier directly, control is provided either using a CAT function of the transceiver
or a relay inserted in the PTT line (between the transceiver and the linear amplifier); this relay
beeing itself controlled via a dedicated PIN of the parallel port defined under the band decoder
settings (Setup).
You can choose Control by:

CAT : This is the recommended option for TS-480/570/870/2000 transceivers. The CAT
function controls the state of Pin 3 of the Remote port (LINEAR AMP function).

LPT: In that case, the Band Decoder must be defined in Setup for a parallel port and
properly wired. You must indicate which PIN (2-9) of the parallel port you are using to
control the relay (you select a pin not used by the band decoder itself: in the BCD codes
of the band decoder you must indicate - for this pin instead of 0 or 1). By default the
selected pin goes to a HIGH state while OPR is ON (Inhibit NOT checked) ; if Inhibit is
checked, the pin goes to a HIGH state to force SBY. Example (see image above): Pin 6 of
the LPT port (Band Decoder) is used to control the relay. High state = OPR, Low state =
SBY. TRX-Manager forces SBY above 65W.
If control of the linear amplifier is not possible via CAT or LPT, TRX-Manager provides two
selections which may help to prevent from transmitting on prohibited segments (or just after
band changes) either by using VOX (On/Off) or by setting up RF Power (Full/Minimum). You
can choose:

PWR : Power is set up according to the desired state of the transmitter: OPR>power by
default (according to Preferences), SBY>minimum power (0-5 W). This is the recommended
way if control using a relay is not possible (provided RF Power control is possible via CAT),

VOX/TEST : VOX (or TEST on K3) is set up according to the desired state of the
transmitter. This is the way to go if all other options are not possible but VOX control is
possible via CAT.
Notes

Computers and RS232 communications are not perfectly reliable ; some situations may be
unexpected. This function does not exempt you from checking the state of your station,

VOX or PWR may be not effective on several transceivers depending on supported CAT
functions. Minimum power is rarely 0W but more often about 5W or more. VOX control is not
100% reliable.
Alarm
You may select the way an alarm prompts while flashing and/or the Windows critical sound.
