Table 4: Pin connections for the front panel 9 pin D connector.
The pinout for the connector has been chosen so that a straight-through BD9 male to
DB9 female cable can connect the transmitter to any male DB9 serial port on an IBM
PC compatible computer.
Note that for connection to a modem, a
cross-over cable will be required.

Channel Programming and Option Selection
Channel and tone frequency programming is most easily accomplished with RF
Technology WinTekHelp software. This software can be run on an IBM compatible PC
and can be used to calibrate a T50, R50, and PA50 as well as program channel
information. See the
WinTekHelp manual for further information.
