Problem: 

After decreasing the computer display resolution, some of the control software’s pop- 

up windows do not appear on the screen. 

Solution: 

The control software remembers the screen Iocation of the Band Sweep Display, Smith 
Chart, Log Call sign and 

User 

Guide pop-up windows.  This data is stored in the file 

KC505.CFG.  If these windows 

last 

appeared on the right 

or 

bottom 

of 

the screen and you 

change the screen resolution from large, say 

I024 

768, 

to 

small, say 640 

480, these 

windows 

Will  be 

off 

the right 

or 

bottom 

of 

the screen. 

To prevent this problem, move these 

windows  left and up before decreasing the screen resolution. 

If the problem has already 

occurred, restore the screen resolution 

to 

the previous setting, move the windows, and then 

decrease the resolution again. 

As 

last 

resort, 

quit the KC505 program, delete the 

KC505.CFG file, then 

restart 

the KC505 program.  The window positions Will return 

to 

the 

default locations. 

Problem: 

How 

do I reset the radio 

to 

factory settings? 

Solution: 

If the radio settings are in a questionable state, click the RESET button while  in the 

KC505 

control program.  This Will  restore the following parameters 

to 

factory default settings.
