Specifications

selected (or a generic model is selected), the program may run but with limited functions.
Make sure the Com Port OFF function ( Transceiver menu) is not activated. It you find it
activated at startup, please exit the program and delete the \Toolbar folder before you
restart TRX-Manager. You can check the status of the com port using the
Parameters/My Configuration sub menu.
Make sure that your interface is not running with another program (physically connected or
not to a device like a modem, a FAX or a PDA...).
Step 2 : check your interface and your cable
The communication problems generally come from the interface or a faulty cable (most likely).
In some cases you may have to program your interface or to wire it. Please note that you
may control your serial data line with help of the CAT Commands window.
In case of you use an USB/Serial adapter, please check for the com port number that has
been created in the Device Manager.
Step 3 : the TRX-Manager's settings
Checking the DTR and/or RTS check boxes of the PTT frame may be required to power-on the
interface. RTS checked is also required for Kenwood and TenTec transceivers. In fact, except
if you use one of theses lines for Transmit/Receive switching it is preferable to let these cases
checked and in case of any communication problem, please let [CAT] checked and
check [DTR Enabled] and [RTS Enabled].
Default settings for a K3. RTS and DTR have no effect.
If you don't know how to use the TX Interrupt feature, please let the TX Interrupt Enabled
check box NOT checked.
Ck Buffer is usually NOT checked. If it is checked, the program checks for an empty buffer
before sending any new command. This may reduce the number of collisions and errors but
