DR-638 utility software
NOTICE:
Amateur radio version software is downloadable from ALINCO.com. The manufacturer distributes the Commercial-user version to the dealers
through the authorized importers/distributors only. The dealers should consult with the distributor of your area for details.
To install, click on the DR638 Clone Utility ***.exe then follow the steps to complete the installation. After being completed, open the Device Manager
menu of the Windows program to identify the assigned COM port ID of "Prolific USB-to-Serial port".
Connect the ERW-12 cable to the microphone connector of the DR-638, turn it on, then click on the DR_638** Icon to start the program. At first, the
COM port setting window opens. Select the assigned COM port ID. After successfully selected the COM port, the utility window opens. You need to
follow this instruction otherwise the ERW-12 doesn't recognize the DR-638.
The operation is fairly simple; please write/read a simple, dummy data several times to get used to the functions the program offers before actually
edit the memory data.
When some parameters may be used, the radio becomes like a landmobile and user-reset is inhibited.
Please consult your local dealers for technical support if necessary.
