; This contents of this file will enable you to select, while running
TRLog, ANY
; combination of MkV filters which you have installed. Sort of like
K6SE's
; MPFilters except that it will work in a DOS environment, including
one which
; doesn't do windows.
; There's a bit of other stuff here as well which may be of use.
; To try this out:
; 1. Copy this entire file into the directory from which you will be
activating TR.
; 2. Open the logcfg.dat file and add to the end of it with a text
editor the line
; INPUT COMMAND FILE = COMMANDS.ICF. (This presumes you have
already set up a
; log in this directory.)
; 3. Save the file.
; 4. Start TR
; All the commands below will now be programmed into the CQ CW
memories shown.
; Use ALT-P C to view the memory contents. You should see all
sorts of strange
; characters including SRS1=
; 5. Try them out.
; To actually use them:
; 1. Copy and paste the commands you are interested in to the
logcfg.dat file where
; you want to use them.
; 2. Change the Function key assignments to suit yourself.
; GENERAL NOTES
; The function keys used were chosen for testing convenience. Change
them to suit
; yourself.
; Similarly, for testing convenience, only the CQ CW messages were
used. If your rig
; is not in CW mode or TR is in S&P mode, the function keys won't
seem to work.
; That's because the codes are in the CQ CW memories and, when in S&P
mode, the
; function keys send the contents of the EX CW memories, none of
which have been
; programmed here. Similarly, if your rig is not in CW mode the
function keys send
; the contents of the CQ SSB memories, none of which have been
programmed here.
; VFO A refers to the Main Receiver
; VFO B refers to the Sub-Receiver
; To test whether the MkV CAT programming codes are correct I wrote a
little program
; to send codes directly to the MkV (TR not running) as there are
many, many errors
; in the manual regarding CAT codes. Thanks to Earl, K6SE, and
Steve, AI7W, we now
; have the correct codes. I have tested them on my MkV and they
work. However,
; they don't all work from TR. Those cases have been noted below.

;++++++++++++++
; DUAL ON/OFF
;++++++++++++++
; Dual On - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY AltF1 = <03>SRS1=xxx<01><83><04>
; Dual Off - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY AltF2 = <03>SRS1=xxx<00><83><04>
;++++++++++++++
; VFO STUFF
;++++++++++++++
; Copy A VFO to B - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY AltF3 = <03>SRS1=xxxx<85><04>
; Copy B VFO to A - works on my MkV
; Swaps VFOs then copies A to B
CQ CW MEMORY AltF4 = <03>SRS1=xxx<01><05><04> <03>SRS1=xxxx<85><04>
; Watch out. If in the CTRL-J menu you have AUTO S&P ENABLE = TRUE
then copying
; B VFO to A will probably switch TR into S&P mode. At this point,
none of the
; function keys will seem to work for the reason given above. Hit
ESC to switch
; back to CQ mode and all should be fine.

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Here are the codes for the VFO A (Main Rx) 8.2 MHz IF filters,
including the ones
; I don't have.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; THRU - doesn't seem to do anything on my MkV.
; I know the codes are correct because they work with the program I
wrote.
; See note marked ** at bottom for a possible reason why they don't work.
; I didn't assign a CTRL-F Key because I needed them all for the
other codes
; CQ CW MEMORY ControlXX = <03>SRS1=<01>xx<04><8C><04>
; 2.4 kHz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF1 = <03>SRS1=<01>xx<00><8C><04>
; 2.0 kHz - selects 2.4 kHz as no 2.0 installed
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF2 = <03>SRS1=<01>xx<01><8C><04>
; 500 Hz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF3 = <03>SRS1=<01>xx<02><8C><04>
; 250 Hz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF4 = <03>SRS1=<01>xx<03><8C><04>
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; And for the VFO A (Main Rx) 455 kHz IF, including the ones I don't have.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; 6.0 kHz - doesn't seem to do anything on my MkV. The codes are correct.
; Same comments as 8.2 MHz THRU filter
; CQ CW MEMORY ControlXX = <03>SRS1=<02>xx<04><8C><04>
; 2.4 kHz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF5 = <03>SRS1=<02>xx<00><8C><04>
; 2.0 kHz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF6 = <03>SRS1=<02>xx<01><8C><04>
; 500 Hz - selects 2.0 kHz as no 500 installed
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF7 = <03>SRS1=<02>xx<02><8C><04>
; 250 Hz - selects 2.0 kHz as no 250 installed
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF8 = <03>SRS1=<02>xx<03><8C><04>
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; To set both 8.2 Mhz and 455 kHz IFs to the same bandwidth for the VFO
A (Main Rx)
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; THRU/6.0 kHz - doesn't seem to do anything on my MkV. The codes are
correct
; Same comments as 8.2 MHz THRU filter
; CQ CW MEMORY ControlXX = <03>SRS1=<02>xx<04><8C><04>
; 2.4 kHz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF9 = <03>SRS1=<00>xx<00><8C><04>
; 2.0 kHz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF10 = <03>SRS1=<00>xx<01><8C><04>
; 500 Hz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF11 = <03>SRS1=<00>xx<02><8C><04>
; 250 Hz - works on my MkV
CQ CW MEMORY ControlF12 = <03>SRS1=<00>xx<03><8C><04>
; WARNING - Control F11 and F12 may not work. If they don't, in the
CTRL-J menu
; set "USE BIOS KEY CALLS" to FALSE. This may or may not slow down
your computer.
; If it does and it's a problem, you will have to set it back to TRUE
and forego
; the use of F11 and F12.
; NOTE - If you do ALT-P C you will see messages for F1 to F10. If you
now do
; CTRL-F1 you will see messages for CTRL-F1 to CTRL-F10. This
doesn't mean that
; the CTRL-F11 and CTRL-F12 keys don't work. Instead of doing
CTRL-F1 do CTRL-F11
; and you will see the message stored in CTRL-F11. Similarly for
CTRL-F12.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; And for the B VFO (Sub Rx)
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; 6.0 kHz - works on my MkV

; LOCK/UNLOCK - these don't work from TR. They do work from my program.

;
======================================================================================
; ** It appears that any code string containing <04> won't work because
TR uses CTRL-D
; to mark the end of a hex code string. CTRL-D is hex 04 so, when TR
sees an <04>
; it appears to decide that that's the end of the string and the
remaining hex
; characters aren't recognized.
