(the radio's VFO B is used to handle offsets with some radios). You could call all of these
features that are handled by the controller "virtual" features, since they may or may not exist on
the radio but the controller makes it work like they do. The only reason you need to know
about which features are virtual and which ones actually use the features of the radio is so you
can understand why the display on the radio doesn't always reflect the commands you enter.
Watching the display on the radio may be more confusing than just using the frequency recall
command (keypad command '8') while you are in HF mode.
Default Values:
The first time the HF remote is turned on (or after it has been reinitialized), it will go to 14.25
Mhz, USB. All of the virtual memories also default to 14.25 Mhz, USB. Of course you can
change them to any other frequency you may choose.
Example:
I want to control a Kenwood TS-870S. I want my command prefix digit to be '1', so I enter
"195 11". I then enter "196 2 2 0" to set the radio type and tell the controller that it will be
connected to port.two. The audio cable is built just like the one for my repeater was. Since the
TS-870S already has a RS-232 serial port, I don't need a level converter, but I do need a null
modem adapter in the serial cable between it and the controller to connect the data out line on
each end to the data in line on the other. At least for now, I don't care about transmit or scan
band edges, so I am going to skip command 197. Entering "198" from the repeater on port 1
turns on HF mode and sets the frequency to 14.25 Mhz. "179" starts it scanning up fast.
Kerchunking it stops the scan. "13" will turn of HF mode.
