Specifications

For a TS-2000/480/590/K2/K3/KX3 (or Remote) transceiver, if you choose the internal
CW Interface, check CW Internal (CW via CAT port). For these transceivers any other
settings made under the CW tab will be ignored while Internal is checked.
PTT options are required in case of you don't use PTT (TX On/Off) via CAT or if your
transceiver does not support PTT via computer. TX Interrup settings are rarely used.
Under TRX1 tab, you also find the SO4R option (Single Operator Four Radios) which provides
various switching options via the parallel port or automatic selections depending on the
Operating transceiver.
Ck Buffer is usually NOT checked. If checked, the program checks for an empty buffer before
sending any new command. This may reduce the number of collisions and errors but the
program may also lock up with some comm drivers (like Prolific).
If you own an LP-100 Digital wattmeter, you can configure it from Setup/TRX1
Please restart TRX-Manager after checking for all the parameters.
Now, you launch the Monitoring which is the heart of TRX-Manager by clicking the Monitoring
button or F6. With some transceivers, you may have to click the CAT control button
(if it is visible) to engage the communication between the program and the transceiver. If all
has been properly configured, the Monitoring window displays the current state of the
main transceiver and you can control it from the computer.
About com ports
If you select the same com port for different transceivers or devices, you will receive a warning
message (like "Erroneous parameters..."). While this is is a Warning only and this configuration will
be accepted by the program it is recommended you take care not using these different devices
sharing the same com port at the same time... since it is NOT supported by Windows and may
generate an error at startup of TRX-Manager.
Selecting the Main Transceiver (Monitoring)
The Monitoring window controls the Main transceiver. When you start TRX-Manager for the
first time, the main transceiver is generally the one defined under Setup/TRX1.
The Main Transceiver can be selected at any time from the Transceiver menu. This menu
displays various items corresponding to each configured transceivers:
