Uncomplete System Settings Menu
|
Hi All, I'm new in the Group. I bought a used X5105 . It seems? working. But I noticed that the System Settings Menu looks uncomplete (vs KE4RG and/or? Rev B).
serial Nr. is X0300259 and FW version appearing is? 3.0.0 , June 1? ?2019. System Menu that I see is the following: #1 LCD Backlight #2 LCD Contrast #3 Beep Volume #4 CW Tone Volume #5 Key BEEP #6 MIC Bias #7 RSSI Scale #8 User Key F1 #9 User Key F2 It looks? missing: - AM Mod Level - Band Stack Mode - Charger? - IF Output I suppose that differences are due by old Firmware inside. I'm not particular "crazy" to update (considering the risk to make damage) , but I should like to know from you if the functions that are missing are important or? not. IF Output:? I? don't think to use it? Charger ON/OFF:? in the manual there is written that you can't charge the battery when transmitting , but how may I use the external power supply? without charging the battery ? Am I forced to use battery only,? when transmitting ? - AM Mod Level? --? no idea? what it is
- Band Stack Mode? -- no idea what it is Many thanks for your valuable explanation and suggestions 73 Bruno |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Bruno, ? Welcome to the group. On your first question about the system menu, I have manuals for V1.0¡ and V3.0¡ Below are snips of those menus. I have never seen anything in-between and not sure which version you are seeing. ? ? On your second question about charging while operating, on my V3.0 unit, I have been operating on and off (receive/transmit) for 3+ years only with the charging cable connected (24H/7D) with no issues. The V3.0 manual states the following: ? ? I built a charge cable with an in-line 3A fuse and use an 800CCA 12VDC car battery to charge the unit and never had an issue with the battery running between 12.3 and 13.0 VDC (while smart charging) with no issues. If the X5105 does go haywire, the 3A fuse should protect it, but has never popped, to date. ? I am not sure about a V1.0 unit¡¯s ability to charge while XMIT, but don¡¯t believe it has the Menu-7 toggle for CHG ON. ? If you don¡¯t know what the missing menu options are, chances are you don¡¯t need them. ? I hope this helps. ? Best 73, Lou N2JPR ? ? Sent from for Windows ? From: Bruno
