5. Radio Programming and Adjustments
All receiver procedures detailed in this section should be done twice: once for the “Main” (or RX1)
receiver 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 program the Paragon-III radio base station 700 MHz.
5.1.1 Recommended Items
- 486 PC or better, MS-Windows 98 © or later
- T800win programming kit for Series II:
- PGM800Win programming software user's manual
- PGM800Win Windows based programming software version 3.0 or later
- 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 software
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 directory service box.
• Receiver VCO and front-end alignment will be required when new receiver frequency is pro-
grammed outside the radio tuning range:
792-794 MHz = ± 3.0 MHz from previous center frequency
797-803 MHz = ± 3.0 MHz from previous center frequency
• Exciter 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 programming 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 14, Figure 15, Figure 16 and Figure 17 for screen program examples.
4. Save the base station programming info to a file for further reference.
