5. Radio Programming and Adjustments
All receiver procedures detailed in this section should be done twice: once for the “Main” (or RX1) re-
ceiver module and a second time for the “Auxiliary” (or RX2) receiver module. Connect to the relevant
module and its corresponding backplane PCB as required.
5.1 Series II Radio Programming
This procedure describes the steps needed to pro-
gram the Paragon
PD
base station UHF, VHF &
800MHz radios (half & full channels).
5.1.1 Recommended Items
- 486 PC or better, MS-Windows 3.1 © or later
- T800win programming kit for Series II:
- PGM800Win programming software user's
manual
- PGM800Win Windows based programming
software
- T800-01-0002 programming cable (DB-25 to
RJ-45 cable)
- Standard 25-pin parallel cable (terminated
Male/Female)
5.1.2 Module Programming
Before starting programming, have a PC running
MS-Windows © and the Tait PGM800Win soft-
ware for Series II Base station.
This program supports the use of a mouse but may
be used without one if required. Keyboard access
follows the conventional MS-Windows © method
as briefly described below:
- Press and hold the “Alt” key while pressing at
the same time the relevant hotkey as indicated
by an underlined letter on the menu command.
- On a drop-down menu, press only the hotkey
without pressing the “Alt” key.
- Use the “Tab” key to cycle available fields
and the “Enter” key to validate entries. E.g.
Pressing “Alt”+F opens the File drop-down
menu and pressing “A” opens the Save As di-
rectory service box.
Receiver VCO and front-end alignment will be
required when new receiver frequency is pro-
grammed outside the radio tuning range:
800/900 = ± 3.0 MHz from previous center
frequency
UHF = ± 2.5 MHz from previous center
frequency.
VHF = ± 1.5 MHz from previous center
frequency.
Exciter and PA alignment will be required when
new transmitter frequency is programmed outside
the radio tuning range: ± 4 MHz from previous
center frequency.
1. Connect the PC, via the supplied program-
ming lead, to the speaker panel’s front-
mounted RJ11 connector.
2. Run Tait PGM800Win program and follow
instructions found in the T800 Programming
Software User’s Manual to select the proper
module to be programmed.
3. Program required channel's frequencies.
– Do not program any CTCSS tones on
channels.
– Do not change any other parameters.
– Refer to Figure 17, Figure 18, Figure 19
and Figure 20 for screen program
examples.
4. Save the base station programming info to a
file for further reference.
