Specifications

Requirements


Probably a transceiver or a receiver!...

A Personal Computer and any 32 bits or 64 bits version of Windows (except NT3.51)

Graphics card 16 or 32-bit color video display adapter

X-VGA monitor (minimum)

A free serial port for the radio interface or an USB/Serial adapter (Com 1-32 supported)

Eventually an RS232/TTL Level converter (but most recent rigs include this converter)

A Connection to the Internet (optional)

A TNC or multimode controller + serial port (optional) for DX Spotting

DCBS Systems
Sorry, but TRX-Manager is NOT compatible with any version of Windows using DCBS (China, Japan,
Taiwan, Korea) and Windows NT3.51.
Disk space
The necessary disk space to install the software is about 50 Mb (it may depend on the
software already installed). At least, 200 MB of free disk space are required to run the
program.
RAM
Recommended minimal requirement is 124 MB (Windows 9.X). Much more RAM is required under
XP and later.
Display
The preference menu Software tab offers you a choice of suitable colors, font type and size.
The program is optimized for a 1024*768 / 32 bits color display or more. You may have to
adjust your Windows settings (size of title bars) if some dialogs are truncated.
RS 232/TTL interface
This § is of concern only with the older transceivers (before year 2000/2005) since all
transceivers now include the RS232/TTL interface.
You need an RS232 interface to connect your transceiver to the RS232 port of your
computer. While recent transceivers include such interface (in that case, you only need a
cable between the radio and the computer), the others require an external device. The
following types are recommended : FIF232C (Yaesu), CT-62 (FT-100), IF-232C (Kenwood)
or IF-10 (TS-440/940/50), CT-17 (ICOM) or the universal LCU-3 distributed byPDA (USA)
