Using the DXE-SWP8 with ICOM
When the two internal jumpers are set for
ICM
, the
DXE-SWP8
only works properly with the Icom
IC-7610
,
IC-7850
or
IC-7851
.
Future Icom transceivers may work with the
DXE-SWP8
- Check the DX Engineering website for
updates and any
DXE-SWP8
manual revisions.
The following example is shown
using an IC-7610. You will be
able to program eight out going
messages. The other Icom models
are similar in operation. Use the
Icom Manual for specific
instructions on setting up the
External Keypad and
programming memories.
The
DXE-SWP8
plugs into the rear of the Icom IC-7610 into the jack labeled
EXT KEYPAD
. This
is shown as connector item 18 in the ICOM IC-7610 Basic Manual (version A7380D-1EX-2).
The IC-7610 MENU needs to be accessed to turn on the
external keypad. Information about that is in the Icom IC-
7610 manual.
Once set up, the eight switches on the
DXE-SWP8
can be
programmed with the desired outgoing messages.
For example: To program voice messages, refer to the IC-
7610 basic manual in the section entitled “ VOICE TX
MEMORY OPERATION”. Likewise, refer to the manual
when programming in CW, RTTY or PSK messages as well.
The information presented in this manual is not complete for
the various radio models to avoid conflicts with any revisions
that Icom makes. Always refer to your latest ICOM transceiver manual for complete up-to-date
details.
When you program the buttons on the
DXE-SWP8
, you may want to make a small chart so you
remember what the function buttons are set for.
