To program DTX Module, the RITRON PC Programming Kit, DTXP2-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.

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 and double

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.
