j Com Transceiver Control
Computer Interface
Model: TC-I TC-K TC-Y TC-Y2
The J-Com Transceiver Control Computer Interface allows you
to control most if not all of radio functions from your computer. It
is functionally identical to the Icom CT-17, Yaesu FIF-232C,
Ten Tec 305 and Heath computer interfaces. It will work with all
radios and rig control software which use these interfaces.
• No external power supply ...power is ‘lifted’ right from the
computer’s COMM port

INTRODUCTION: The J-Com Transceiver Control Computer Interface provides the appropriate “level shift” of signals between your computer’s RS-232 COMM port and your transceiver’s TTL computer control connection. By using low power integrated circuit devices to make these conversions, we have been able to package the entire interface into the shielded hood of a DB25 type RS-232 connector. Because only 3.5 - 6 mA of current is required, the interface is able to “borrow” power from the com

The block diagram shown is a very general interpretation of the J-Com Transceiver control Computer. When a signal is sent from your computer it is in binary (a logic 1 or 0). The binary signal is between 3 and 25 volts for a logic 1 and between -3 and -25 volts for a logic 0. Your radio doesn’t use such voltage levels, therefore a level shifter is used to change these voltage levels to something that it can deal with. A logic 1 is shifted to become between 3.2 and 5 volts and a logic 0 i

SOFTWARE: The J-Comm Transceiver Control Computer Interface is compatible with all ® rig control software available. This includes Kenwood’s HamWindows , DXBase, K1EA CT, LOGic, NA, TurboLog, Hyperlog, RC-Plus and many others. Consult the software manual and any other on-disk information (READ.ME files) which came with your software to understand how to properly configure it to communicate with your radio. Many software programs have different recommendations regarding the setting of t

We have included a copy of the RC-Plus shareware radio control program on our HamBase demo diskette. This program will be found in the directory \RCPLUS. To use the program, copy all the files in the directory to your hard disk, or to a different disk by typing : C:> MD RCPLUS C:> CD RCPLUS C:>COPY A:\RCPLUS\*.* (

Remember that the person with the most knowledge of your computer system is you. We wish we could be more helpful, but it is virtually impossible for us to debug your entire system on the telephone. The majority of problems encountered are software setup related, i.e. wrong COMM port, IRQ conflicts. Since we did not setup your system, it is unadvisable for us to recommend that you change your system settings. Please only call as a last resort and consult the warranty procedure before do

To enter these codes into the program, press “O” on the main menu, then choose the type of data transfer you require. In the case of the Yeasu FT- 900, you would choose “Enter Hex”. Now you can enter your code in, and in case of the Yeasu and possibly others, enter the code in reverse. Now you can press "1" or "2" on the main menu depending on which comm port you are using. If you accidently press the comm port where your mouse is running, it may disable your mouse temporarily until you r
