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.
