Specifications

You must indicate the path of the EXE file (interface) in the Setup's panel. If the interface
doesn't work properly, please exit the interface and let TRX-Manager automatically launching
it at startup. Please note TRX-Manager supports only ONE DDE Rotor Interface at the
same time. Under Vista W7, running TRX-Manager with administrator privileges (or with
UAC = OFF) is mandatory to establish the DDE link.
ALFASpid Rotators
The AlfaSPID rotators may be controlled via two ways :
1.
The SpidLog selection requires the opening of the AlfaRadio's SpidLog program.
However, the value of the azimuth is only "transferred" to SpidLog and TRX-Manager can
not aim the rotor directly,
2.
The SpidRotor (1 or 2) selection provides direct control via the RS-232 port (controller
required). The 2 selection is required if your controller provides elevation control (speed
600 bauds). Otherwise, the 1 selection must be used (speed 1200 bauds). Checking the
Reverse Monted option is required for rotating the antenna from -180° to 180° rather
than from 0° to 360°.
Tip
In case of one rotor controls two antennas mounted on the same mast but with different offsets,
you may define the same rotor twice with the same com port but with a different Offset under
Rotator 1 and Rotator 2 (a warning may pop up...).
Rotator control
The rotator is controlled from the DXCC windows.
The rotating button rotates the antenna ; the stopbutton stops it. The direction may
be set for short path or long path according to the button selection. It is also possible to
select any direction by moving the slider and then to rotate the antenna by pressing the
rotating button.
With some rotors, the Stop button also polls the rotator for its current azimuth.
Notes

the DX-Map windows is interfaced with the DXCC windows : any click on the map affects the
azimuth indication.

the stop button doesn't work for all interfaces and rotators.
