Storno CQM6113, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 2 / 14

Preface
The software is version 6114-3.8a. Since there are several implementations of the StrayCat
software this manual is adapted to the software version for the PI4GN project. In ROM there will
be frequencies in the range of 136-174 MHz.
All functions and keys are software defined. Since the set is software driven it will behave like
that. Sometimes a reset of a single channel or a complete bank of channels can be necessary.
This might occur mainly after making changes in channels. If the set goes completely ’bananas’
a total ‘hard reset’ can do the job. Frequencies in ROM are preserved –obviously.
The internet has a lot of info about the CQM6000. Two sites will provide you with the factory

About the software
The set basically works on a 12.5 KHz grid. The program has two arrays of channels in ROM, 100
channels each and numbered 00-99. Switching between channel arrays is performed by clicking the key
"
Mode selector " and then " A ".
With a hex-editor you can manually enter the desired frequency into an array before blowing the ROM,
maintaining exactly the used records format. The format per channel is 12 digits: first 6 digits RX, last 6
digits TX. At offset 4000h is the first channel array and at offset 4800h the second. The recording format
of the channel arrays is simple and straightforward.
To avoid confusion, it is recommended not to change the channels numbers in the records.
Each channel array in ROM has a corresponding array in size in RAM (initially empty).
Changed frequencies are stored into RAM, in the corresponding channel projection.
The program detects the presence of the channel in RAM memory and will use this in the first place. If
the channel entry in RAM is corrupted, damaged or indicates invalid info, you need to clean this area of
RAM. See channel, bank and total software reset.
The main modes of operation of the program:
Mode 0 Receive/transmit on split frequency, channel scanning at reception . This is the basic
mode of operation of the program, the program enters into it at startup.
Mode 1 Set the channel number. The program goes into this intermittent operation by pressing
the " CH " and at the end returns to mode 0 .
Mode 2 Enter frequency for RX/TX by channel. The program goes into this intermittent
operation by pressing the " Queue " key and at the end returns to mode 0 .
Mode 3 Receive/transmit at the current frequency, the frequency scanning in the interval.
The program goes into this mode by pressing

and at the end returns to mode 0 .
Switching to mode 3:
To enter this mode, press

. The indicator will show the current channel number, the receive frequency
(=transmission frequency) and two digits to the right of the display - the current frequency step.
The frequency step is selected in this mode by clicking the Mode selector . Possible choices - 12, 25, 50
KHz (12 = 12.5 KHz). The frequency step is stored in the memory. To exit from mode 3 press the

again. When you exit from mode 3 , the current channel will rewrite in the appropriate area of the RAM,
even if nothing has changed.
