    USB to Serial Port adapters may be used to interface RS-232 connections to a USB port for use with the software. The ICOM OPC-478U was used successfully during software development for USB to CI-5 interfacing. The MFJ-5429 RS-232 to USB adapter cable was also used successfully in combination with the Optoelectronics CBDS cable.

    The quality of USB to Serial Port adapters varies considerably due to physical design, timing, and software driver issues. Be aware that many USB cable manufacturers have not updated their USB driver software for Windows Vista. Before deciding that a given adapter does not work be certain to check driver configuration parameters and download the latest driver updates. The com port chosen in the software must match the com port assigned by the adapter's driver software. Do not configure serial port parameters such as baud rate or parity as these are controlled by the software.

    Device Setup Requirements

    Scout

    On Scouts where there is a choice you must select a communications language of CI-5. The AR8000 setting is not compatible with the software. Normal mode must be set for operation with the Memories, Options and Display functions. Reaction tuning mode (active with either filter or capture mode) must be selected for operation with the Logging function. The software automatically seeks the address of Scouts which are not configured to the default address.

    Spectrum Scout

    Interface type must be set to remote control for operation with the Memories, Options, User Database 1, User Database 2, and Display functions. Interface type must be set to reaction tune for operation with the Logging function. Furthermore the receiver type must be set to CI5 for operation with the Logging function. The AR8000 and PCR1000 settings are not compatible with the software. When changing the interface type setting it is best to turn the device off and then back on for use

    Digital Scout

    Interface type must be set to CI-5 for operation with the Memories, Options and Display functions. Interface type must be set to reaction tune for operation with the Logging function. Furthermore the receiver type must be set to CI5 for operation with the Logging function. The AR8000 and PCR1000 settings are not compatible with the software.

    M1

    The M1 does not require any specific settings for operation with the Memories, Options and Display functions. Since the M1 does not support reaction tuning the Logging function is not supported.

    CD100

    The CD100 does not require any specific settings for operation with the Memories, Options and Display functions. Receiver type must be set to CI-5 for operation with the Logging function. The AR8000 setting is not compatible with the software.

    Xplorer

    All Xplorers support the Memories, Options and Logging functions. Some early model Xplorers have an interface parameter which must be set to CI-5 from configuration mode. These same early model Xplorers must also configure the baud rate parameter to 9600. Newer model Xplorers do not have these configuration parameters and will operate by default with the software. The software automatically seeks the address of early model Xplorers which are not configured to the default address. The Xplorer does not support the Display function. New style Xplorers send reaction tune commands out both the CI-5 and RS-232 connections so Live Log will work with either connection.

    X Sweeper

    Interface type must be set to remote control for operation with the Memories, Options, and Display functions. Interface type must be set to reaction tune for operation with the LiveLog function. Furthermore the receiver type must be set to CI-5 for operation with the Live Log function. The AR8000 and PCR1000 settings are not compatible with the software. When changing the interface type setting it is best to turn the device off and then back on for use.

    Questions About The Alinco DR-135DX

    Does this radio come pre-programmed?

    This comes pre-programmed for the 10 meter Amateur Band. It can also be switched to CB mode by pressing button combinations on the front panel at start up. It will then cover the entire CB band. Note, it is not legal to operate this model as a CB in the UK. Also, the channels won’t quite correspond with the UK 40 FM. Additionally, a programming lead is available to make custom changes and program channels to specific requirements.

    What frequencies are set in the factory alignment ? What frequencies can be programmed with programming cable?

    From 26.065Mhz to 30.000Mhz AM/FM/USB/LSB

    What range does this have on SSB?

    Hi Ian depending on solar conditions 10 M or 11M. I used standard power which I think was 25w pep on ssb. I max 2000 antenna and made contact to State Side Brazil most of Europe. Dubi. All contacts gave good audio and signal reports back.

    Is this radio ready to use in CB mode (UK) straight from the box?

    No, but its so simple to unlock, to get UKFM you will need to program via computer

    Hi, can you please confirm that this transceiver will work on all UK and EU CB frequencies straight out of the box without any programming needed?

    it certainly does although the channel numbers obviously don’t match up so you will need list of the old 27/81 & cept frequencies handy to know where you are .
    If you choose to program with software available you then can put which ever frequency to what band you wish so for example band “a” could be 27/81 & band “b” could be cept.
