Control Software Installation
Install the new software by placing the
3.5”
disk in drive
A
(or
B). From Windows select
RUN.
Enter A:instalI
(or
B:install).
Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
A
new group called
Kachina Communications will be created. We do NOT recommend installing the Kachina
software into an existing directory
or
program group, since that software
or
group could be
deleted if and when you run the uninstall command. The installation software Will install three
programs in the Kachina Communications Group. These include the 505DSP radio control
program (KC505),
a
radio call-sign logging program (KCLOG), and an uninstall program, should
you
later
decide
to
remove the Kachina software from your computer.
KC505
and
KCLOG
are started by selecting the Kachina Communications Group. Then select
KC505
or
KCLOG.
Or choose RUN and enter the path
to
KC505.EXE
or
KCLOG.EXE. The
first
time the control program runs, a prompt Will request the port number conneding your
PC
to
the radio. The port number is stored in file KC505.CFG with other configuration data.
If an older version of the KC505 software resides on your
PC
and you plan
to
install the new
software in the same directory
or
use the same program group, you must
older
version
first.
Remove the older software using the uninstall program supplied with
original
version.

Operation
In lieu of knobs, the radio’s many functions are operated from either the keyboard
or
the mouse.
You may find the mouse easier
to
use until you become familiar with the
various
features and
functions. Menu selection
is
accomplished by clicking the left mouse button on the highlighted
item. Full details
of
all radio functions are provided in an on-screen User Guide. Below are
some of the basic features needed
to
get you started.
Main
Power Switch

is switched on. The meters
o n
the on-screen control panel Will read
“OFF

if the radio is
switched off
or
if
for
any reason the control software
is
unable
to
communicate with the radio,
such as a loose
