INTRODUCTION
Thanks for purchasing Memory Master for the Icom IC-706. I feel sure that
you will be pleased with the ease of operation and the versatility that
has gone into the production of this software. Programming the memory
channels from the front panel of a 706 can be a very time consuming and
frustrating operation. Memory Master allows you to make changes to the 706's
memory channels with ease. The program automatically sets up split
frequencies for repeaters by comparing the VFO A and VFO B frequencies that
you enter. If the frequencies are different, the program automatically turns
on the SPLIT FUNCTION and stores the memory channel for repeater operation.
SETUP
Setup could not be easier. Just copy all the files to a directory of your
choice on your hard drive. The program can also be run from a floppy, but
it will be considerably slower.
*****VERY IMPORTANT*****
The IC-706 must be setup with a CI-V ADDRESS of 48H and a CI-V BAUD of 9600.
These functions can be checked by looking at the menu display. To access the
menu hold the LOCK button while pushing the POWER button. The radio will
come on in the menu mode. Check the following menu items:
Menu # Comment Value
21 CI-V ADDRESS 48H
22 CI-V BAUD 9600
23 CI-V TRN on
You can look at each menu setting by pushing the UP or DOWN buttons.
Changes can be made to a menu item by turning the VFO KNOB until the
correct setting appears. Turn off the 706 by pushing the power switch to
save the settings.
OPERATION
At the dos prompt type MM. The program will automatically read the
MEMORY.DUH and COM.INI files and display their contents on the screen.
The program will run with Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 and can be setup
with an appropriate icon.
Pressing the F1 key will advance the edit screen to each consecutive page.
The frequency data for each memory channel will be displayed as it was
stored in the MEMORY.DUH file.
To edit a memory channel, press the F1 key until the page with the desired
memory channel is displayed on the screen.
Press the F3 key and follow the prompts. If you enter anything incorrectly
the computer will indicate an incorrect response with a beep and allow you
to reenter the data. Enter the VFO A and VFO B frequencies in MHZ.
(Example 14.200) If you enter 14.200 for VFO A and 14.200 for VFO B Memory
Master will automatically compare these frequencies and store 14.200 as a
simplex frequency. To program repeater frequencies enter the transmit
frequency into VFO A and the Receive frequency into VFO B. Memory Master
will compare these two frequencies and automatically store them as split
frequencies. (For Example: to store the 146.94 - repeater...you would enter
146.340 in VFO A and 146.940 into VFO B) As you edit memory channels they
will be highlighted on the edit screen with green print on a red field and
sent to the Memory.duh file.
Once you have made all of the desired frequency changes on the edit screen
you will be ready to program the IC-706. Check your com port setting !
Press F8 to toggle between COM 1 and COM 2. Press F6 and sit back and
watch as your frequencies are programmed into the IC-706. It only takes
about 2 minutes on most computers. Memory Master will start programming at
memory channel 1 and continue to program all channels through 99.
Memory Master will end with a beep and return back to the edit screen.
DEMO VERSION
The DEMO version of Memory Master is completely identical to the REGISTERED
version except it will only program the first six memory channels on the
IC-706. Please use the form provided in the register.doc file for
registration.
Thanks again for purchasing MEMORY MASTER. If you have any questions or
suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line. Ideas are welcomed !!!
I feel sure that this program will evolve as your suggestions come in and
I will repay your kindness by providing upgrades to registered users at a
VERY reasonable price.
