Chapter 4: TL500A Program Registers

4. TL500A Program Registers

The TL500A has been designed to perform several operations that are integral to the proper function of your total communications system. The operations are controlled by programmable information that is stored in files called “registers.” Each register contains enough memory to hold factory preset default values and “custom” values that allow the TL500A to operate to your specifications. The following is a short description of each register function, program capacity, and factory preset default values.

REGISTER 01 — Mode Flags

This register controls eight features or operating modes performed by the TL500A. Each “flag” or feature can be turned on/off and is programmed as a string of bit information. Zero (0) denotes “off” and one (1) denotes “on.”

NOTE: When programming this register, you must enter all Flag (Bit) values. The Mode Flags are factory preset to the following:
