Specifications

Commands to a parallel port
These commands are sent via OLE to TRX-Manager; therefore TRX-Manager must be running
when you activate the button and activate the parallel port (the Custom port is not
supported).
Please select LPT for the Command to field, fill in the LPT n field with the port number and
indicate the desired state for pins 2 to 9 using the following convention: 0=low 1=high -=no
change.
Setup for LPT2, Pin 2 & 3 = 1, Pin 4 to 9 = 0
Direct commands to a local serial port not controlled by TRX-Manager
These commands are sent by opening the specified com port. Therefore this port must be
free; if TRX-Manager is running, please make sure it does not use this com port.
Please select Com (Local) for the Command to field and fill in the Port n field with the port
number and the Settings field with the necessary parameters using this format: Speed,
Parity, n Bytes, Stop Byte (i.e : 4800,n,8,2).
The desired command is typed - exclusively in hexadecimal - in the RS232 Command field. If
the command is a string, each character must be translated into hexadecimal.
Direct commands to a transceiver under the control of TRX-Manager
These commands are sent via OLE to TRX-Manager. Consequently, TRX-Manager must be
running when you activate the button. Only commands to a Kenwood (+ some others using
ASCII strings) and Icom transceivers are processed.
Depending on the type of transceiver (ICOM ou Kenwood), the syntax is different. You have
to use the correct syntax by referring to the manual for your transceiver (see also CAT
Programming).
In case of your transceiver is not an ICOM or a Kenwood, the STRING selection may work (not
guaranteed) for a syntax written with Ascii strings : if Monitorings shows the macro buttons,
TRX-Command will work in most cases.
For Kenwood
Please select STRING for the Command to field and fill in the Bytes field with number of
bytes of the answer (if required); the command is typed in using the format required by the
manual (the end delimiter “;” is not required).
For ICOM
