6-16 HF SSB transceiver user guide

Operating the transceiver from a computer

You can operate your transceiver from an IBM compatible

computer or personal organiser instead of a control panel.

You send and receive calls using a special computer

command language that the transceiver understands.

Make sure that the transceiver is disconnected from the DC

power source before connecting anything to the

Remote

Control

connector.

All commands and responses are followed by a carriage

return and line feed.

Maximum length is four digits for channel numbers, six digits

for numeric addresses and 15 characters for alphanumeric

addresses. Messages are enclosed in double quotes.

Equipment connected to the transceiver can also control

transceiver operation automatically by generating these

commands.

Before you can use a computer to control the transceiver,

you need to:

• connect the computer and set the correct RS-232 and

baud rate settings (refer to the HF SSB transceiver

reference manual, Chapter 11, Connecting ancillary

equipment)

• set up the computer terminal to operate in Full Duplex

mode.
