FIRST TIME INSTALL / POWER UP The first time the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN is powered up,
after the CHIPSWITCH has been installed, you will be required to
enter the type of radio you are using. The radio will
display "HR2510" as the first choice, "HR2600"
as the second choice and "LINCOLN" as the third. Press the Span
button until the type of radio you have is displayed on the readout. Then press the Band
button to enter that selection into the microcomputer's memory. You are
only required to do this when the CHIPSWITCH is installed into
your radio for the first time, or if you issue a MASTER RESET
command. Note: If your radio is turned off for an extended period of time, or if a
severe electrical disturbance (sparking wires, shorts, etc.) Is caused on the power supply
to the radio, the internal memory inside the microcomputer chip may
'forget' what you have programmed into it. If this should happen, your radio will display
'HR2510' and you will need to re-program it just as you did when the chip
was first installed. Also, a severe electrical disturbance may cause your radio's memory
to become 'confused', causing improper frequencies or strange character to be displayed on
the readout. If this should happen, invoke a MASTER RESET function and
then re-program the radio. OPERATIONS ENABLE/DISABLE FUNCTIONS While the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN is in OPERATE
MODE, you can enable or disable any of the radio's
major functions from the front panel. Some of these functions are not operational in
specific "BANDS." The display segment before the frequency
readout indicates which function is enabled. (See below)
NOTE: (1) This function will only work if PRIORITY CHANNEL
frequency is not programmed. PROGRAM MODE This function enables you to program the new CHIPSWITCH
features on the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN. The radio notifies you that you are in PROGRAM
MODE with "4 beeps" and a 'P'
displayed in the Band indicator. At this point, you are able to program
any of the 46 FEATURES outlined in the PROGRAMMING
section of this manual. MEMORY CHANNEL TEMPORARY LOCKOUT This enables you to temporarily lockout any user-programmed frequency(s)
for SCAN and SEEK functions. To enable or disable this
toggle function: Step 1. Assuming frequencies were programmed into any memory
group, go to any MEMORY BAND (Band 1, 2 or 3) where
you wish to scan or seek At this point the frequency(s) that were "locked-out"
will not be included when you perform the SCAN or SEEK
function on that particular MEMORY GROUP. SCAN LIMITS ON/OFF This toggle function allows you to enable or disable the SCAN
and SEEK frequency limits for Band 0. If this toggle function is enabled,
and a lower and an upper frequency limit is programmed
in FEATURE 3 and 4, the radio will scan or seek only between these
frequencies. To enable and use this feature: Step 1. You must be in Band 0, and have FEATURE 3 and 4
programmed with the limits At this point the radio will either SCAN
or SEEK depending on the value programmed in FEATURE 5.
If a scan value (0-3) is programmed in FEATURE 5, the scan
hold time rate will be determined by FEATURE 6. Squelch
has to be closed for the SCAN function to work properly. If a seek
value (4-7) is programmed in FEATURE 5, the seek hold
time will be determined by FEATURE 7. SCAN and SEEK also functions in BAND
1, 2 and 3. The difference being that in these memory bands, you
either scan or seek through the MEMORY CHANNELS
previously programmed in these MEMORY BANDS. SPLIT FREQUENCY OPERATIONS ON/OFF This toggle function allows you to transmit on one frequency while
receiving on another. Split Frequency is only available in Band 0. To
enable and use this function: Step 1. Go into PROGRAM MODE OPERATING IN SPLIT FREQUENCY MODE To use this function reliably, the two parties involved in the QSO
must be versed on operating split channels. Two users are mentioned in the explanation
below, OPERATOR A and OPERATOR B, to better understand
the procedures. Step 1. OP A and OP B must have the SAME
offset programmed in Feature 1 Note: OP B's receive frequency = (OP
A's receive frequency)+ or -(offset
in Feature 1) The + or - is determined
by OP A's polarity in Feature 2. Step 5. OP A and OP B enables SPLIT
FREQUENCY OPERATIONS SPLIT FREQUENCY POLARITY CHANGE The SPLIT FREQUENCY POLARITY is initially programmed in
the PROGRAM MODE. In some instances, you may wish to change polarity
without having to go into Program mode. To use this feature: Step 1. Press F.lock button in Note: This toggle function will only work if PRIORITY CHANNEL
frequency is not programmed. This is because the same buttons are used for both, and PRIORITY
CHANNEL ON / OFF function has precedence. PRIORITY CHANNEL ON/OFF (REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HARDWARE) This function, when enabled, allows you to continuously monitor one
frequency while operating on another. To enable this function: Step 1. Go into PROGRAM MODE PRIORITY CHANNEL CHECK & LOCK FEATURE 45 allows you to select PRIORITY
CHANNEL functionality. If you choose a value between 0 and 3,
the priority channel selected in FEATURE 44 will be
checked and the radio "beeps" to
notify you of any activity on that channel. This feature only notifies
you of activity on the priority channel. To lock on to the priority
channel, you will have to: Step 1. Press the F.lock button in If you choose a value between 4 and 7, the priority
channel will be checked for activity. If the squelch is broken,
the radio will "lock" on to the
priority channel and remain there until the activity ceases. To keep the radio from
returning to the original operating frequency when activity ceases on the priority
channel, press the F.lock button in. MASTER RESET Step 1. Power off the radio This FUNCTION erases all user programmed values and
installs the factory default values. This FUNCTION also
brings the radio to a "First-Time Install"
state. USING SPLIT CHANNEL with PRIORITY CHANNEL
FUNCTION If both the SPLIT FREQUENCY OPERATIONS and PRIORITY
CHANNEL functions are enabled, the SPLIT FREQUENCY OFFSET CHANGE
function is disabled because, the same set of keys is used to enable the PRIORITY
CHANNEL function. With the squelch closed, the SPLIT
FREQUENCY OPERATIONS will function as it should. As soon as the priority
channel squelch is broken, the radio will
switch to the priority channel. If you lock on to the priority
channel and transmit at this time, both the SPLIT FREQUENCY OPERATIONS
and PRIORITY CHANNEL functions will be disabled and you will be
transmitting on the priority channel. OPERATE MODE While in the OPERATE MODE, all original radio
functions and buttons work as they did before EXCEPT for the following: BANDS: (Selected
by pushing the BAND Button)
FREQUENCY BAND (0) This is the entire tuning range of the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN.
Some user defined functions in PROGRAM MODE are available only on this
band (i.e., SCAN/SEEK LIMITS, SPLIT FREQUENCY OPERATION). The radio's
Channel UP/DN and the Microphone UP/DN buttons control
any frequency change as selected in the PROGRAM MODE features 8 and 9.
The radio's VFO knob works as before. MEMORY GROUP 1 (1) A maximum of 10 frequencies can be stored in this
memory group. In this band, channel numbers (0 - 9) appear on the display
with the user-programmed frequencies. A minus (-) 100 kHz REPEATER
OFFSET can be selected on a channel-by-channel basis in the PROGRAM MODE.
This is indicated by the blinking 10MHz segment of the front panel
display. Frequencies/channels previously programmed can be temporarily locked-out
from the SCAN/SEEK function using the MEMORY LOCKOUT FUNCTION.
MEMORY GROUP 2 (2) This is the second group of memory channels and is operationally
identical to MEMORY GROUP 1 (1). MEMORY GROUP 3 (3) This is the third group of memory channels and is operationally
identical to MEMORY GROUP 1 (1) and MEMORY GROUP 2 (2) EXCEPT
this band operates on a PLUS (+) 100 KHZ REPEATER OFFSET if this option
is chosen in the PROGRAM MODE. SCAN, CHANNEL UP/DN, AND MIC UP/DN These functions are user-programmable in the PROGRAM MODE.
LOCAL BEEP TONE The local beep tone can now be disabled or programmed from 1/20th
second "click" to a second long tone. Most of the features have been pre-programmed from the factory and will
have default values stored in memory. You will have to determine which features (detailed
in the next section) you wish to change. To enter PROGRAM MODE: Step 1. Press the F.lock button in When the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN goes into PROGRAM
MODE you are notified by "4 - beeps" and the BAND
indicator will display a "P" indicating the radio
is in PROGRAM MODE. In this mode, the METER display (RF,
MOD, ^, SWR) will be blank. The CHANNEL
NUMBER display will show "0" indicating the
first enhanced FEATURE (BEEP ON-TIME) programmable by
you. The FREQUENCY display will have the right-most digit (100Hz)
illuminated with the default value for this FEATURE. You can review / change the values of any of the 46 FEATURES
using the CHANNEL UP/DN buttons and VFO knob of the radio.
The Channel Up/Dn buttons select which FEATURE, and the VFO
KNOB changes the VALUE of that feature. CAUTION:
Leave the F.lock button depressed to prevent accidental programming if
you are just going to view the programmable features. If you plan to change the value for
a particular FEATURE, the F.lock button must be in the "out"
position for the VFO knob to work. To exit the PROGRAM MODE: Step 1. Press the F.lock button in PROGRAMMING Following is a detailed explanation of all the PROGRAMMABLE
FEATURES and how you can program each individual FEATURE:
NOTE: SCAN/SEEK by these limits
is only functional in Band 0. If no values are entered in feature
3 and feature 4, the radio's lowest and highest operational
limits are used as defaults during SCAN/SEEK.
NOTE: To use the automatic minus (-) 100KHz
repeater offset
NOTE: To use the automatic plus (+)
100KHz repeater offset under MEMORY GROUP 3, press the SCAN
button after entering the frequency. The 10MHz digit will blink to
indicate that this channel has been programmed to use the OFFSET option.
To disable, press the SCAN button again. Any memory channel with a frequency of 00.000.0 is
un-programmed and will be skipped during the OPERATE MODE. To erase a
frequency from any MEMORY GROUP, ensure the F.lock
button is out, then press the BAND button to set the frequency to 00.000.0.
NOTE: REQUIRES
ADDITIONAL HARDWARE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
NOTES: Any frequency type feature may be erased in program mode by pressing the BAND button with the F.Lock button out. SERIAL NUMBER DISPLAY To display the SERIAL NUMBER of the CHIPSWITCH IC, perform the following:
Note: This is useful in case you ever need to know the chip's serial number, but didn't write it down. ERROR MESSAGES If the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN detects an error with any
of the programmed data, or during OPERATE MODE, an ERROR CODE
will be displayed on the frequency display. The format of the ERROR CODE
is as follows: "Err X" where X is: 0 = Transmitter Timeout timer has timed-out If your radio displays error 3 or 4, don't keep trying to transmit on this frequency. The cause of the problem could be low power supply voltage to the radio or the radio's VCO loop needs adjustment. Refer to a qualified technician for service. Contact the installer of the chip first. If, however, you installed the chip yourself, contact Derrell at (801) 269-0130. Derrell is an source / installer of CHIPSWITCH products and is offering to assist you. |
