ENGLISH DOCUMENTATION OF
TX-232 V1.0
** DEMO VERSION **
This version is public domain. You can distribute it with all originals files.
*******************************************************************************
DEMO version with any functions inhibited.
*******************************************************************************
TX-232(K) is a software dedicated to OM and SWL owners of Kenwood transceivers
like TS-850S & TS-450S (see COMPATIBILITY.DOC for more informations).
----> Copy all fonts directory to SYS:FONTS.
Functions of TX-232 :
- Dual display frequency (2 VFO)
- All modes
- F.I. filters and SLOPE TUNE PASS BAND filter
- Programmable Scanning frequency
- Spectrograph (Band-scope)
- 10 Memories banks of 24 memories with name (10 characters).
- Automatic recognition of transceiver (*).
(*) When TS-850S is recognize, SLOPE TUNE window is avalaible. For others TRX,
the SLOPE TUNE window is not available. TS-950S SLOPE TUNE is for future.
Screen is in two parts :
Upper window : General window for all display (frequency, mode,etc...) and
all options availables on front panel of transceiver.
Downer window : Use for multi-windows selection and all informations.
---------------------
MENU "PROJECT/RESET":
---------------------
Reset soft : Send defaults datas to TRX.
Defaults datas are in ToolTypes icon.
Description:
FREQ = Frequency (in Hz)
MODE = Mode of modulation
--> 1=LSB 2=USB 3=CW 4=FM 5=AM 6=FSK 7=CW-R 9=FSK-R
PASHZ = Default Step in Hz
PASKHZ = Default Step in kHz
SCANSTART = Start Frequency for scanning (in kHz)
SCANSTOP = Stop Frequency for scanning (in kHz)
SCANDELAY = Delay for scan between two frequency (in seconds)
SERIALPORT = Serial Port name used (ex: serial.device)
PORTNR = Serial Port number used
If one or all tooltypes are missed, they will substitute by defaults datas,
fixed in TX-232.
----------
FREQUENCY:
----------
Available of 50 kHz until 29,999 MHz. For the time, there is no possibility
of 50 MHz for TS-680S or TS-690S. I haven't informations for range frequency of
theses TRX. Send me doc please...).
VFO in use -> Large display.
2nd VFO -> Small display.
Modify frequency with:
- Arrows buttons in right of large display.
Programming arrows with small buttons under large display.
MHZ -> 1 MHz only.
KHZ -> Choose step in kHz (1 to 600).
HZ -> Choose step in Hz (1 to 600).
Choice of 1 Hz step is possible but only news TRX use this. This option is
implemented for future compatibility with the new TS-870S & TS-570S.
- Arrows keys.
UP -> Up frequency with programming step.
DN -> Down frequency with programming step.
LEFT -> Down MHz with 1 MHz step.
RIGHT -> Up MHz with 1 MHz step.
- Direct frequency entry with QRG button.
Use window QRG like this:
Click ENT, click frequency, and click OK -> easy :-).
Frequency is in height number max. (xx.xxx.xxx Hz)
Ex: For enter frequency 7,050 MHz :
Click -> " ENT, 0 , 7 , 0 , 5 , OK ", frequency is automaticaly
completed with zeros number. Frequency out of range is substitute
by 50 kHz or 29,999,999 MHz.
----------------
VFO A/B BUTTONS:
----------------
- Two VFO are availables with VFO A and VFO B buttons.
VFO in use is in large display and other in small display.
----------------
RIT XIT BUTTONS:
----------------
- RIT & XIT ON/OFF.
Programming and display RIT / XIT is for future...
--------------
F.LOCK BUTTON:
--------------
- F.LOCK is used for lock the front panel of the TRX.
-------------
MODE BUTTONS:
-------------
- Mode of modulation in right of screen.
All modes are availables :
USB, LSB, AM, FM, CW, CW-Reverse, FSK, FSK-Reverse.
For the CW-Reverse, I don't think that is compatible with CW-N mode of the
TS-140S & TS-680S.
*******************************************************************************
In DEMO version, FM & LSB modes are unavailable.
*******************************************************************************
-----------
AIP BUTTON:
-----------
no commentary.
--------------
SCANNING MODE:
--------------
P.SCAN is used for programming frequency range to scanning.
For modify, click Gadgetstring :
Start -> Start frequency (kHz).
Stop -> Stop frequency (kHz).
Delay -> Delay of wait between two frequency (seconds).
Step -> Step for scanning (kHz).
Busy -> Value max of busy frequency, In number of S-Meter segment
(1 to 30)
Pause -> Pause time for waiting when frequency is buzy (seconds).
Busy and Pause are used together.
Ex: If Busy=15 and Pause=8. The Scanning will waiting on all frequencies buzy
with signal of 15 segments on S-meter of TRX and that during a time of 8 seconds
+ value of "Delay".
*******************************************************************************
In DEMO version, scanning range is fixed of 14,000 MHz to 14,350 MHz
*******************************************************************************
Ranges frequencies are already programmed (HAM Bands & Citizen Band) and
you can select them by buttons.
SCAN button start scanning and display spectrograph window. The Window's
contain values of s-meter on graphic display.
On scanning memory mode, the name of memory is display in the small display
screen.
Stop scanning by press ESC key when spectrograph window is selected.
The scanning memory band mode is also possible by menu "Scanning"
-------------
F.I. FILTERS:
-------------
F.I. filters (455 kHz & 8,83 MHz) are used by clicking on wanted filter.
Of course, only filters installed are available.
---------
MEMORIES:
---------
Memories are divided in two banks already programmed (HAM et C.B.), and in
10 banks of 25 memories (0 to 24) programmable with name of 10 alpha-numeric
characters and with modulation mode.
Select theses memories by F-Keys:
F1 -> HAM Bands (decametric)
Divided in 10 bands
1,8 MHz - 3,5 MHz - 7 MHz - 10,1 MHz - 14 MHz
18 MHz - 21 MHz - 24 MHZ - 28 MHz - 29 MHz
F2 -> Citizen Band
All C.B. channels used in France.
Nota : In selecting C.B. channel, the step is automaticaly fixed to
10 kHz.
Programmables memories:
-----------------------
LEFT SHIFT F1 -> Memo Bank n°1
LEFT SHIFT F2 -> Bank n°2
| |
V V
LEFT SHIFT F9 -> Bank n°9
LEFT SHIFT F10 -> Bank n°0
Modification of programmable memory by menu "Edit Memory Bank"
*******************************************************************************
In DEMO version, only banks 0 and 1 are available.
*******************************************************************************
Nota : Window's memory are also calling by menu "Memo Banks"
-----------------------------------
MENU "MEMO BANKS/EDIT MEMORY BANK":
-----------------------------------
By selecting this menu, you can edit memory banks.
M.BANK NR. -> Bank number to edit (0 to 9).
MEMORY NR. -> Memory number to edit (0 to 24)
FREQUENCY -> Frequency in Hz (Ex: 7050000 Hz for 7,050 MHz)
MODE -> Mode of modulation like:
L=LSB U=USB A=AM F=FM
C=CW K=FSK R=CW-R S=FSK-R
NAME -> Name of memory (Maxi 10 characters alphanumerics)
VALID -> Valid memory. (there is no save)
For save, use menu "save memo banks"
----------------------------------
MENU "MEMO BANKS/PRINT ALL BANKS":
----------------------------------
Print all memory banks in three pages.
Page 1/3 -> Banks 0 to 3
Page 2/3 -> Banks 4 to 7
Page 3/3 -> Banks 8 to 9
----------------
MENU "SCANNING":
----------------
Select and start scanning of desired range.
----------------------

----------------------
Reload memory bank in memory
---> All modifications are deleted of memory if they're no saved.
----------------------
MENU "FILE/SAVE BANK":
----------------------
Save memory bank
--> Warning !! Save function is definitive and it's no product .BAK file.
------------------------
MENU "SETTINGS/CW PITCH"
------------------------
For modify CW PITCH (see documentation of your TRX)
For information, type of TRX is displaying under Large Display with CW PITCH.
------------
INFO BUTTON:
------------
This button is use for read datas from TRX. If you change one thing with the
front panel of TRX (frequency, mode, RIT, etc...), TX-232 don't know read this
modification itself. This function is not automatized for the time, but it's
for future version.
---------------
S-METER BUTTON:
---------------
For testing if S-METER command is compatible with any TRX and any interface.
It's during a little minut. Please give me report...
---------
HELP KEY:
---------
For display MINI HELP window for remember keys used.
------------------
SLOPE TUNE FILTER:
------------------
If TRX is a TS-850S, the SLOPE TUNE function is displaying in general window.
At left, this is LOW PASS filter and at right, this is HIGH PASS filter.
*******************************************************************************
In right of TRX's type, there is a number (3 digits), please return me this
number if your TRX is not a TS-450S or TS-850S. This is for complete automatic
recognition of transceiver and implemented 50 MHz for TS-680S and TS-690S.
