DB9 female cable can connect the transmitter to any male DB9 serial port on
an IBM PC compatible computer.
Note that for connection to a modem, a cross-over cable will be required.
4 Channel Progr amming and Option Selections
Channel and tone frequency programming are most easily accomplished with RF
Technology WinTekHelp software. This software can be run on an IBM
compatible PC and can be used to calibrate a T50, R50, and PA50 as well as
