2.1) Remote TRX
Same configuration as for the standard control mode using the same protocol as the one set
for the SERVER computer (UDP recommended).
Operation
1.
You connect the SERVER computer from the CLIENT computer using exactly the same
procedure and settings than for the standard mode of control. The communication is first
established using the standard mode of control.
2.
You open the Monitoring window
3.
Once you confirm the link is established you click the REAL MODE button at the bottom
of the Remote TRX window.
4.
The green led lights and the Monitoring is refreshed
Now, you have full control over your remote transceiver via IP from the Monitoring window
and all other windows of TRX-Manager.
Operating tips

You can even control the memory channels but you may find the program too slow for this
application!

The Monitoring's update button forces a polling for the full status of the rig

Macro-commands and rotator control of the Remote Window are still usable in Real control
mode.

Should this happen, you may toggle from Real Mode to Standard mode by clicking in the
Remote control interface.

The sliders do not support the mouse-wheel in real-mode. Please use the mouse movements
only.

"Auto" settings such as : Tuner, Antenna, Linear, RF Power, Band decoder are set by the
SERVER computer only (the CLIENT computer's settings are ineffective). The AUTO-MODE's
preset filters and Band Plan are set by the SERVER for DX Spots and by the CLIENT for a
manual selection (both computers must be set up accordingly). AUTO-MODE is switchable from
the CLIENT computer.
Note for ICOMs
When a command is sent using the real remote control mode, the CLIENT station does not wait for
the OK message (acknowledge) from the transceiver. However, the SERVER station, by waiting for
the OK message, does check if the command has been accepted and send it twice if necessary...
Errors at the com port are minimized but in some rare cases, since pollings of some parameters,
especially Split (*) are not supported, an erroneous display and a wrong operation is possible.
From this point of view, the standard remote control mode is more secure.
(*) Frequency and Mode pollings are supported by all ICOM rigs. RX/TX polling is not supported by
all ICOM rigs.
