-====== Setting the Receiver Address Code for Computer Control of the Delta II ====== 
-**From the Ten Tec Reflector June 22, 1998** 
  
-The Delta II is now being controlled by my computer. ​ After two telephone conversations with Paul Clinton at Ten-Tec, he finally was able to get through to me what I should do and how to interpret and use what I was seeing. 
- 
-First, the problem seemed to be that the "​receiver address code" the contest software (TRLog) was looking for was not the default 
-'​4',​ like in the Omni VI+. 
- 
-Second, nothing in the Delta manual or the 305 manual indicated what to punch on the keypad to display and allow changes to the 
-receiver address code. 
- 
-The keystrokes are F + <Mode to display the receiver address code.  It should show something like EC OO.  When you press the ^ (up) arrow on the keypad, that should cause to be displayed two more digits (0.0). ​ The n.n digit is the receiver address code. Press the up arrow to increment it to the value you want (I incremented it to 0.4).  Press ENTER to save it. 
- 
-Then, in the contest software (in TRLog'​s case), I entered "radio one address = 4" in logcfg.dat and saved it.  I activated TRLog 
-and the program then recognized and took control of the radio. 
- 
-Thanks to Paul Clinton at Ten-Tec for the help and advice.

-**From the Ten Tec Reflector November 13, 1998** 
- 
-I have a Delta II which I purchased to use as radio2 for 
-contestng. 
- 
-I purchased the Model 305 for the RS232 level conversion that is 
-necessary for computer control of the Delta II.  You could just 
-as well build your own.  My 1995 ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateurs 
-has the schematic and writeup on an RS232 level converter using 
-the same chip as the 305. 
- 
-The baud rate is fixed at 1200 baud. 
- 
-You may very likely need to know the '​receiver address'​. ​ Mine is 
-64.  You can find and set your's by pressing the "​F"​ button, the 
-<MODE button (That'​s the LEFT ARROW-MODE button). ​ On the LCD 
-display you will see HEX numbers (mine says EC.006.4) in place of 
-the frequency. ​ The 6.4 is the 64 receiver address for my radio. 
-You can change the number by pressing the Up or Down arrow 
-buttons. ​ (I'm telling you this in detail because I had to call 
-Ten-Tec service department to find out how to do this; it wasn't 
-in the manual.). 
- 
-I found a problem with the computer/​radio system that I am trying 
-to work through. ​ The computer software polls the radio for the 
-frequency once a second. ​ I have had to turn off the polling 
-while the radio is transmitting,​ otherwise the CW characters get 
-all chopped up and are unreadable. ​ With the polling off while 
-transmitting,​ only the first character is chopped (truncated?​),​ 
-the rest of the CW is normal CW.  There are a couple of other 
-software commands I found in the logging program command list 
-that I am going to try this weekend and see if that will resolve 
-the first character chopping problem. 
- 
-My radio1 is an Omni VI+ and I've had no similar problems with 
-it's computer control (same computer and same software). ​ So, I 
-don't know if the problems I am having with the Delta II are 
-endemic to the radio or if it's just a problem with my radio. 
-YMMV. 
- 
-73 and good luck,
