In addition to the standard cable which only contemplates the passive reception function of
the data coming from the transceiver, the addition (optional) of the "TX interface" (see fig.)
is foreseen to enable the amplifier to interrogate the transceiver cyclically as happens in
the Yaesu and Kenwood protocols.
By using the cable without said interface (standard cable), complete operation will be
achieved only in the presence of an external software that cyclically interrogates the
transceiver (e.g. LOG in a PC).
The addition of the "TX interface", despite its simplicity (only three components to be
inserted in the cable cover), gives the linear / transceiver system an exceptional operating
stability which is only necessary when no external element (e.g. PC) provides for a cyclical
request.
When using a standard cable, the CAT address in the Expert must be set as "DISABLED".
When using a cable with "TX interface", the CAT address in the Expert 1.5K-FA must be
the specific address of the transceiver.
In the transceiver menu:
Set “CI-V Output (for ANT) ON” (if present).
Set “CI-V Transceive ON” (in the absence of the previous one).
With one of the previous settings, the transceiver transfers the frequency at each tuning
variation even in absence of the cyclic interrogation.
If the transceiver is still interrogated (PC or “TX interface”), “CI-V Transceive OFF” is also
a possible setting.
Make sure that the baud rate is the same on both the transceiver and the amplifier.
