Tips by Rich K0FUN
When TRX-Manager starts is assumes VFO A is active. If the radio is set to VFO B the program will
read this value into VFO A of the program. This can be confusing. The following prevents the
problem:
1. With the transceiver on. Start TRX-Manager.
2. Select VFO A from the program (This will insure the Radio is using VFO A)
3. Turn the VFO knob on the radio slightly. This may result in a Dialog Box indicating a
Communications Error (Invalid message format). This only comes up once and is not serious
4. Select VFO B from the program.
5. Turn the VFO Knob on the radio slightly. 6. If Split is enable on the radio disable it from the radio.
If you want to operate split enable it from the program.
Features and limitations
The number of memory channels is limited to 99 for all the models (see below).
Generally, the oldest ICOMs (before IC-746) do not allow reading of the s-meter (and
consequently the bandscope is not supported), SPLIT command (status write and/or read),
VFO A/B, PTT controls may be not available. However, if PTT control is not available, you can
still control TX/RX status using the RTS/DTR Lines.
With IC-R75, please use AM Reverse to set AM Synchronous.
With IC-PCR1000, press the button of the main toolbar to power on the receiver.
With IC-820/821/910/9100 MAIN & SUB VFO are simultaneously displayed and updated only
if you are in SAT mode; it is important you engage SAT mode from the program (see also
Satellite interface).
Power ON/OFF
TRX-Manager assumes that the transceiver is turned on at startup. If this function is
supported, use the power button to turn on/off the transceiver. After sending a "POWER
ON" command, you may have to press the Monitoring's Refresh button to refresh the
display.
Warning
Depending on the transceiver you are using and the way the interface is powered on when you
switch off the transceiver, you may be unable to power the transceiver on again... Generally, if you
use a separate CIV converter (CT17 or clone) powered by a 12v source, it should work. See the
documentation provided by ICOM.

If you are using a recent ICOM (since IC-746) a lot of commands are available such as AF
