SOFTWARE:

The J-Comm Transceiver Control Computer Interface is compatible with all rig control software available. This includes Kenwood’s HamWindows®, DXBase, K1EA CT, LOGic, NA, TurboLog, Hyperlog, RC-Plus and many others. Consult the software manual and any other on-disk information (READ.ME files) which came with your software to understand how to properly configure it to communicate with your radio. Many software programs have different recommendations regarding the setting of these parameters.

❒1. Select the appropriate serial port: COMM 1,2,3,... These may be referred to as serial ports, comm ports or asynchronous communications adapters in your software manual.

❒2. Set the serial interface parameters : base address and interrupt request line (IRQ). You may need to tell the software how to access the serial port on your computer.

❒3. Tell the software the brand and model of radio you are using. In most cases, the software will determine the following parameters automatically from its own data base of radio standards. If you are having trouble, check the ASCII interface parameter: Baud rate, number of data bits, parity, and number of stop bits. The radio and computer must use the same standard in order to communicate. Consult your radio manual first to determine the appropriate data transfer standard. Some radios allow these parameters to be modified by setting the DIP switches to internally. If you experience problems, verify that the switches are set to the default positions. Consult your software manual to determine how to set these parameters in the program.

A note from us at J-COM:

We want to help you make sure that everything is working on the J-COM interface cables before we see perfectly good interfaces coming back to be repaired. Many of the other programs on this included disk turn out to be only DEMOS. This means that many of them don't even try to communicate to your radio, you need to register the program first! This depends mostly on radio you have since some programs for other radios are fully functional. Please read the readme files before jumping to conclusions!
