1. PROGRAM START UP AND SHUT DOWN
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1) Boot up DOS.
|
|
2) Insert the EX-1726 backup disk.
|
|
3) Type the start command:
|
|
** **
|
|
** EX-1726 /(option) /(version) [Enter] **
|
|
** **
|
|
1. #01, #02, #03, #11, #12 can be used as "(version)".

|
|
U.S.A. General version) file.
|
|
4. When "expert" is used as "(option)," several settings are available
|
|

|
|
5. When a file name is used instead of "/(version)," the specified file
|
|
is loaded at start up.

|
3) Push a highlighted character; or an [Arrow] key and the [Enter] key to
|
|
select the desired screen.
|
|
- The desired screen appears.
|

TX METER (Tx meter)
|
|
The bar-indicator on the display can be used as an RF meter or antenna
|
|
current meter. European regulations require an antenna current meter.
|
|
For the antenna current meter to function properly, the AT-130E HF
|
|
AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER must be connected to the IC-M710.
|
|

Selection method: Push [Space] to toggle the selection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ALARM TIMER (ALM timer [sec])

During on distress a 2-tone emergency signal should be transmitted for at
|
|
least 30 sec. before the emergency call. The transceiver has a timer which
|
|
automatically stops the 2-tone alarm after a specified time. This item
|
|
sets the timer period.

|
|
However, automatic 2182 kHz selection is available when pushing and
|
|
holding [ALARM] and [TX FREQ].
|
|
Selectable value: MANUAL ...... 2182 kHz must be selected manually
|
|

SCAN TYPE (Scan type)
|
|
This item selects one of the scan functions.
|
|
Channel scan and channel resume scan search the 5 channels around the
|
|
selected channel when a user channel is selected or search all ITU channels
|
|
in the band when an ITU channel is selected.
|
|
Channel scan is canceled when transmitting and channel resume scan pauses
|
|
for 30 sec. when transmitting.
|
|
Programmed scan searches for signals over the frequency range at high
|
|
speed while squelch is closed and at low speed while squelch is open. The
|
|
frequency range of programmed scan is between user channels maximum number
|
|
and maximum number minus 1 (e.g. 159 and 160).

4. CLONING OPERATION
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Programmed data can be cloned to an IC-M710 instantly. All data is clone
|
|
sent (PC -> TR) or clone read (PC <- TR). A cloning cable, OPC-478 is
|
|
necessary to connect a PC's RS-232C port and the transceiver.
|
|
|
|
For convenience, when changing a small portion of the programmed contents,
|
|
clone read the data from the transceiver, modify the data, then clone send
|
|
it back to the transceiver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CLONE SEND (PC->TR)
|
|
The programmed data in the PC is copied to the transceiver.
|
|
|
|
1) Connect the OPC-478 between the PC's RS-232C terminal and transceiver's
|
|
[CLONE] jack.
|
|
|
|
2) Turn the PC and transceiver power ON.
|
|
|
|
3) Start up this program.
|
|
|
|
4) Select "Clone" in the TOP menu with the [C] key, or an [Arrow] and
|
|
[Enter] keys.
|
|
- Clone sub menu appears.
|
|
|
|
5) Select "PC->TR" in the SUB menu with the [P] key, or [Arrow] and
|
|
[Enter] keys.
|
|
- "Sending oooooo" appears in the bottom left of corner of the screen.
|
|
- "CLONE" appears and counting starts from E000 to EFF0 on the
|
|
transceiver.
|
|
- When cloning is finished and all data send correctly, "Good" appears on
|
|
the transceiver display.
|
|
** **
|
|
** NOTE: - When "CLONE error" appears, check the "RS-232C **
|
|
** port" setting. **
|
|
** - When "Illegal data in" and screen name appears **
|
|
** "?" may be appears on the illegal data in the **
|
|
** screen. Re-program them, or check the freq. **
|
|
** range screen. **
|
|
** **
|
|
|
|
6) Turn the transceiver OFF and ON again.
|
|
- Clone send is now complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 20 -
|
|
CLONE READ (PC<-TR)
|
|
The pre-set data in the transceiver is copied to the PC.
|
|
|
|
1) Connect the OPC-478 between the PC's RS-232C terminal and transceiver's
|
|
[CLONE] jack.
|
|
|
|
2) Turn the PC and transceiver power ON.
|
|
|
|
3) Start up this program.
|
|
|
|
4) Select "Clone" in the TOP menu with the [C] key, or [Arrow] and
|
|
[Enter] keys.
|
|
- Clone sub menu appears.
|
|
|
|
5) Select "PC<-TR" in the sub menu with the [T] key, or [Arrow] and
|
|
[Enter] keys.
|
|
- "CLONE" appears and counting starts from E000 to EFF0 on the
|
|
transceiver.
|
|
- When cloning is finished, the transceiver's display returns to
|
|
the previous indication.
|
|
- Clone read is now complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RS-232C
|
|
When the connected PC has 2 or more RS-232C ports, the desired port can be
|
|
selected with this program. When the PC has only 1 port, "PORT #1" must be
|
|
selected, otherwise, the cloning operation cannot be performed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Select "Clone" in the TOP menu with the [C] key, or an [Arrow] and
|
|
[Enter] keys.
|
|
- Clone sub menu appears.
|
|
|
|
2) Select "RS-232C" in the SUB menu with the [R] key, or an [Arrow] and
|
|
[Enter] keys.
|
|
- RS-232C port selection block appears.
|
|
|
|
3) Select the desired port number to connect the cloning cable with an
|
|
[Arrow] and [Enter] keys.
|
|
- Selected number is the same as the PC port number assignment.

** SAVING NOTE: **
|
|
** **
|
|
** When starting up the program and no file name has been loaded, **
|
|
** "noname.icf" appears in the file name box. In this case, direct **
|
|
** file name entry is possible ("noname" disappears automatically). **
|
|
** However, once a file is loaded or saved, file name entry does not **
|
|
** change the file name. ([Del] or [Ins] key must be used to change the **
|
|
** file name.) **
|
|
** **
|
|
** To indicate the previously saved file name, "*" (wild card) may be **
|
|
** helpful to check the file name. **
