6 PROGRAMMING
To program DTX Module, the RITRON PC Programming Kit, DTXPNX-PCPK-1, must be used.
6.1 PC PROGRAMMING KIT
The user should install the programming software on the host computer. The RITRON adapter
cables connect the radio to a computer’s serial communications port. Once the cables are
hooked up, the user runs the programmer software. This program transfers data between radio
and computer memory.

system installed. The computer must have an RS-232 serial port available. A hard disk drive is
also required.
6.2 LOADING THE PROGRAMMER SOFTWARE
Insert the Software disc which contains the programmer in the CD/DVD/CD ROM drive of the
host computer. The program should load automatically. If not, view the contents of the CD ROM

6.4 USING THE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Note: Power up the radio and connect it, via the programming cable, to the host computer
before opening the programmer.
Upon starting the programming software, a screen will appear with two buttons at the upper right,
Program Radio and Programmer Configuration. Program radio reads the configuration of the
radio and moves the user to the program radio menus which are described below. Programmer
configuration is used to select the appropriate serial port and password (if desired).
Note: Changes made to the radio via the programmer will be accepted by the radio, but
will not be permanent i.e. if the radio is powered down, the changes will be lost. The pages
of the radio menu will have a button, Update Radio, which will make changes permanent.
