In some cases, particularly when using the 505DSP with portable computers, the transceiver may
need
to
be physically separated from the computer and/or monitor. The 505DSP is provided
with control cables approximately 2.5m
(8
ft.) long, but 7.6m (25 ft.) and 23m (75 ft.) cables
are
available optionally from Kachina. If using your own cables, they must be
100%
shielded and not
longer than 23m (75
R.).
Control Problems
-
Problem:
The control
software
is unable
to
control the radio.
Solution:
The wrong communication port may have been selected during installation. The first time the
KC505 control program runs, you Will be asked which port Will be used
to
connect your
PC
to
the transceiver. Most computers have
two
serial ports, some have four. The mouse Will
use one of these ports. You must select
a
previously unused port for the transceiver. This
data is stored in the file KC505.CFG along with other configuration data.
To change the port
you must quit the KC505 control program, then delete the KC505.CFG
file.
When you
restart the KC505 control program, a new port Will be requested.
Demo mode is on. When demo mode is on the word
“DEMO”
Will appear
in
the upper right
corner of the Current Settings display
area
of
the KC505 control program. This option
inhibits commanding and thus enables you
to
operate the software without
a
radio. Turn
demo mode off by selecting
Demonstration
Mode
from the Special menu and then choosing
off.
You have a bad
RS-232
cable
or
improperly wired connector.
\
Problem:
Some keyboard “shortcut” keys do not work.
Sol
ution:
Enable the keypad Num Lock. The keypad shortcut keys
Will
not work unless Num Lock is
on.
The control panel is not the currently selected window.
If
you have several windows open
simultaneously, remember that under
only one window
at
a time
is
active. Click
the left mouse button anywhere in the control panel window
to
activate it.
Problem:
Mouse single clicks are being missed.
Solution:
Increase the mouse click speed under Windows. Note that increasing the click speed
too
much Will make
it dificult
to
double-click the mouse. See page
I 4
for
information about
changing the mouse click speed under Windows
3. I
and Windows
