George:
It took me a while to round up all the data, but here is what I did
to make my Omni 6+, Model 301 outboard "dial", and TR-log (Ver. 5.63) work
together well.
Here goes:
******
Computer: a 386 33 MHz clone with 20 megs of ram, running DOS Ver.
6.22. Two serial ports, one parallel.
******
Omni 6+ (Ser. No. 11A10463 with option 1 upgrade):
Set baud rate (Menu 2 "bd") = 4800
Set address (Menu 2 "C-Id") = 04
******
TR-Log (Ver. 5.63) - Logcfg.dat to include:
Keyer Output Port = Parallel 1
Radio One Baud Rate = 4800
Radio One Name = Omni 6
Radio One Receiver Address = 4 (note: 4, not 04)
Radio One Control Port = Serial 1
Radio One Type = IC735
******
"Y" cable between Computer, Omni 6+ and 301
Omni 6+ DB-25 to Computer Serial DB 9
--------------
-----------------------------------------
Pin 2 => Pin 3 Jumper: Pin 1 =>
Pin 6
Pin 3 => Pin 2 Pin 4 & 7
=> Pin 8
Pin 8 => Pin 5
Omni 6+ DB-25 to Model 301 DB-25
------------- ---------------
Pin 1 => Pin 1 (shield)
Pin 6 => Pin 6
Pin 8 => Pin 8
Pin 16 => Pin 16
******
That's it. The cable was a PITA to build, but works - use care and
make sure that leads go to the correct pins - check twice, and then check
again. My only problems were in this area!!
The above set-up allows me to change frequency and/or band from the
keyboard, and the computer follows the VFO frequency - perhaps a little
slow, but it gets there.
Any questions from either Ten-Tec or TR folk let me know direct, as
I usually just get the digests.
