Endlich!
Hierauf haben schon viele Alinco DJX10 (E)
Anwender gewartet! Eine brauchbare Win. Programmiersoftware mit
Interface. APK2 kann aber noch mehr! So können z.B. für Log Dateien
erstellt werden und diverse Funktionen lassen eine gewisse
Fernsteuerung des DJX10 zu. APK2 läuft ab Win95 und höher.
APK2
wird komplett mit Interface geliefert. (Sub-D 9pol für COM-Ports)

The Controller Software for the DJ-X10
is designed to give you the ease and convenience of running and
programming the Alinco DJ-X10 Receiver from your personal computer.
With the Controller Software, you can create files for unique
applications (travel, emergency activities, or special events), set
the receiver to scan with active channels recorded to the computer, or
simply change frequencies of the VFO's from the computer while the
Dj-X10 listens for activity.
Programming entered into the DJ-X10 from the receiver's keypad can be
uploaded to the computer for use as the beginning for a new
programming file, edited, corrected or added to, and saved to
re-program the receiver.
Using the Controller Software for the DJ-X10, files can be
edited to change various settings such as memory details, mode, memory
name, and VFO settings. New configuration are quickly sent to the
receiver even as it continues to listen for new signals.
The Controller Software lets you run the DJ-X10 receiver from your
computer. While scanning frequency ranges and modes, the Software
records "hits" made by the receiver. Volume and squelch
settings, frequency entry, mode, and step can be entered from the
keyboard as if you were using the keypad of the receiver. You can also
easily switch between VFO and memory modes of the receiver from the
Software.
Hardware Requirements: In addition to a PC running
Microsoft Windows '95 or later, operation of the Software requires a
free 9-pin serial port on your PC, and the Programming Interface Cable,
which is included with the Programming Kit. This cable plugs into your
serial port on one end and into the data jack of the receiver on the
other. In addition to the Interface Cable, the DJ-X10 requires a 3.5mm
to 2.5mm adapter that is also supplied with this package.
On this screen, you can set the
parameters that the receiver uses to identify a signal worth saving
during any form of scan. This function can be engaged during Memory
Scan, Programmed Memory Scan, or A or B VFO scan.
The DJ-X10 receiver listens repeatedly to the identified frequency
range and logs fequencies heard to the file specified on this screen.
This file can be reviewed and/or edited with a text editor or spread
sheet program outside the X10 Controller Programmer. At your choise,
the most interesting of the frequencies identified during the scnn can
be entered into memory for repeated use by the receiver.
Seconds between hits: Set the number of seconds between active
frequencies logged during the scan.
Hits before logging: Set the number of times a signal must be
heard before the activity is recorded into the log.
Capture Filename: Enter a filename into which the active
frequencies are automatically listed. Direct the output to the drive
and directory of your choice by entering that information for use by
the Progarmmer.
Information to be stored to memory is easily entered into the blanks
and with the buttons on this screen. Once memory
information is entered, the file is sent tot he receiver for its use. You
no longer have to "push all those buttons" to program the
1200 memories of the DJ-X10.
The items to be entered are:
Bank: Identifies the bank of the memory
channel. The channel being programmed is the one selected
from the list at the bottom of the window.
Receive: The receive frequency. Frequencies
are displayed in MHz. If you enter six digits, you do not
need to add the decimal point. To enter a frequency with
500 Hz resolution, such as 433.6375, you must enter the decimal
point. If you leave this field blank and click OK, the
channel will be cleared.
Name: Alpha identification of the frequency. Enter
up to 8 characters.
Attenuate: Rather than skipping a frequency,
the strength of the receive signal is reduced.
Skip: Skips this channel when scanning
Step: Select the step size to use when the
dial is turned in VFO mode.
Mode: Identifies the signal mode for the
entered frequency.
BUTTONS

information to the slot selected.
Clear Clears all entries to
a selected memory channel.
OK Exits the screen.
Cancel Cancels the function.

The Controller Software for the DJ-X10 is designed to give you the
ease and convenience of programming the Alinco DJ-X10 Receiver from
your personal computer. The Set data screen gives you an easy way to
set scan mode details of the receiver.
On/Off Timer: Sets the times between which the
receiver will continue to scan. Specifically, the DJ-X10 will turn
'on" and "off" at the times set. Note: The
current times must be set for the on/off timer to function properly.
See page 25 of the Owner's Manual for details of this function.
Beep: Toggles on or off the beep that sounds when a
key on the DJ-X10 is pressed. Default is on.
Battery Save: Toggles the battery save feature on
and off. Default if on. When engaged, "on", the battery save
feature automatically saves on battery power whenever keys are not
used or a signal is not received.
Scan level: Sets the squelch scan level. This level
is the minimum signal strength that must be exceeded by a received
signal before the DJ-X10 pauses to receive the signal.
LCD Contrast: Increases or decreases the intensity
of the letters on the display.
Power On Display: Enter up to three lines of text to
be displayed when the DJ-X10 is turned on.
MR Link: Select the memory bands to be scanned. Select
from one to all of the bands to be sequentially scanned.
PMS Scann: Identify two of the frequencies from the
Programmed Memory Scan to be scanned.
Channel Scope: Controls the spectrum scope display
of the receiver.
The Band Table contains the starting frequency, mode, and step size
that the DJ-X10 uses when scanning in VFO mode. The
receiver will begin to scan at the frequency shown and continue in the
step shown to the next frequency in the list. When the next frequency
is reached, the receiver automatically switches to the next step in
the Band Table, even if this involves changing modes and/or step size.
The list of band limits is always sorted by frequency. There is a
limit of 100 band limit frequencies.
To edit the Frequencyas a band starting point, select a
location in the list box and either double click or click the Edit
button (which becomes the UPDATE button for recording your edits).
Information is edited in the boxes at the bottom of the screen. Once
information is entered, click UPDATE to record your new setting.
To change the Step or Mode, use the drop-down boxes to
select the desired item. Click the Update button to save changes.
Button Functions
Insert Adds a new band
starting point without deleting the exiting entries. Note: If all 100
are filled, the insert function will eliminate band limit number 100
to make space for the insertion.
Delete Eliminates all
information from the selected band limit location. The following
entries are "pulled-up" to fill the space created when the
location is deleted.
Read Reads the existing
band table from the receiver. Write Writes
the band table designed in the Programmer to the radio.
