Specifications

TenTec Transceivers
General information for all models (but Omni VI/VI+)
DSP Filtering
TRX-Manager implements two virtual filters (Normal and Narrow) for each SSB/CW mode + a
Wide filter for AM. Since TRX-Manager uses the DSP, you must check DSP under the
Preferences/Transceiver tab and fill in the default values for each filter. If the protocol
does not give the ability to set the roll-off value of the DSP, only the total bandwidth is set.
See also Modes and filters .
Memory channels
The program can write the memory channels and upload memory channel files but it does not
read the settings of the channels. When you recall a channel from the program, its content is
transferred into the current VFO. See also Memory channels.
Levels
You may set most of the available levels (AF, RF, from the Transceiver/Levels window.
Please note, the program does not synchronize with the current settings at startup. If a slider
is grayed out, the corresponding level is not available from a computer.
Omni VI and Omni VI +
For Omni VI and Omni VI +, please see the instructions for ICOM transceivers.
ORION
Behavior of Orion transceiver may be erratic with TRX-Manager ; please note ORION is
NOT listed as a supported rig. You can test it at your own risk.
Please select ORION in the Setup's combo box. DTR and RTS must be checked and
communication Speed must be set to 57600 bauds. Orion uses hardware handshaking:
make sure your cable is wired for RTS Handshaking .
Almost all main programmable functions including DSP filtering and setting of the levels (AF,
RF,Power, ...) are implemented. Automatic DSP selection must be set from the
Preferences/Transceiver dialog.
While TRX-Manager has been tested successfully with different firmware, some users have
reported a freeze of the front panel during computer control. If the ORION's control panel
freezes, please try to uncheck Polling in Setup. Please note, in that case, any change done
from the rig is not reported on the display. If necessary you may press the Monitoring's
update button to update the display.
