DV MODE OPERATION
In addition to digital voice communication, low-speed
data communication can be made.
Use the optional OPC-1529R
data
communication
cable
with a third-party serial data communication
software.
• A USB port can also be used for the low-speed data com
-
munication, depending on the “USB2/DATA1 Func (
^3
)”
item setting in the Set mode. (p. 164)
NOTE:
First, turn OFF the “GPS TX Mode” item in
the GPS Set mode to send the low-speed data. (p.
134)
D
Connection
Connect the transceiver to your PC using the optional
OPC-1529R cable, as illustrated below.

Low-speed data communication
application setting
Configure the serial data communication software as
follows.
• Port
: The COM port number which is used
by the IC-9100.*
1
• Baud rate : 9600/4800 bps*
2
• Data
: 8 bit
• Parity
: None
• Stop
: 1 bit
• Flow control : Xon/Xoff
*
1
Depending on the PC environment, the COM port number
used by the IC-9100 may be higher than 5. In such case,
use the application which can set to higher than 5.
*
2
Set the baud rate in the “DVdat/GPS Out Baud” item of the
Set mode. (p. 168)
D
Low-speed data communication
operation
q
Set the desired call signs as described in ‘Call sign
setting.’ (p. 93)
w
Follow the instructions of the data communication
application software.
e
Push [PTT] on the microphone to transmit the data
and an audio signal. (or push [TRANSMIT] on the
transceiver)
• The MAIN Band TX/RX indicator lights red.
•
The input data from the [DATA1] jack are automatically
transmitted when “AUTO” is selected in the “DV Data
TX” item of the DV Set mode. (p. 118)
■
Packet loss indication
While operating voice communication or low-speed
data communication through the internet, some
packets may be lost due to network error (poor data
throughput performance). In such a case, the IC-9100
displays “
” on the display to indicate Packet Loss has
occurred.
