PC equipment and software requirements
The program runs on a standard PC that has an available COM port for connection to the radio. The COM port may be a conventional Serial port or a USB serial port. Port numbers 1 - 32 are supported. Alternatively, for USB cables with an FTDI chip in them, you can use the FTDI D2XX programming interface which does not use a COM port number.
It has been developed and tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
A minimum screen resolution of 800 x 600 is required, but 1024 x 768 or above is recommended. Font scaling of 96dpi (standard) and 120dpi (large) are supported; some custom sizes may give rise to problems displaying the grids.
Please refer to the section Connection to the transceiver regarding suitable cables.
