Re.[Icom] Need info on Talk-PCR Ops.

[icom@mailman.qth.net]

I've been using TalkPCR for beswt part of a year and find it better than the=
=20
offering from Icom. Printing out the memory banks is a little involved but=20
quite straight forward.
1.    Via explorer got to \program files\talkPCR\samples (or whereever you=20
have put    your memory files)
2     Open any FQH file with notepad. This should show a comma delimited=20
file.Now close it. Saves trying to convert an empty file!
3.    Open the same file with excel or word (Excel is easier as it has a=20
wizard to do the conversion for you. In Word use the change text to table=20
command and select comma as the delimiter
     =20
You should now have a table but without headers. As far as I can tell they=20
run from left to right in the following order (corrections welcome if I've=20
got it wrong)

Here is the FQL data file format as lifted from the help file in TalkPCR

Format of the =E2=80=98.FQL=E2=80=99, (frequency lists) files used by TalkPC=
R.

The file is a comma-separated variable ASCII file.  There are 19 fields per=20
entry, they are defined below.

1    Frequency, Decimal number, with or without leading zeros

Examples:
              0.198      =3D0.198MHz
           0015.070002   =3D15.070002MHz

Default is 0.0MHz, but this will cause an error, as the radio cannot tune=20
0MHz.

2    Detector mode, ASCII hex pair, default=3D02, AM.
00=3DLSB
01=3DUSB
02=3DAM
03=3DCW
04=3DNot used
05=3DNBFM
06=3DWBFM

3    Bandwidth, ASCII hex pair, default=3D02,15k
00=3D2k8
01=3D6k0
02=3D15k
03=3D50k
04=3D200k

4    Description, Text field, default=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D
Note that a description cannot have a =E2=80=9C,=E2=80=9D in it!

5    Volume, ASCII Hex pair, default=3D00, mute.

Range is 00 for mute, to FF full volume.

6    Squelch setting, ASCII Hex pair, default=3D00, open.
Range is 00 for open, to FF full squelch value, note level squelch starts=20
halfway at 80.

7    Tuning Step, Mkformat, Default=3D25k.
Examples:
50    =3D 50Hz
12k5  =3D 12.5kHz
100k  =3D 100kHz
33k3r =3D 33.3333333kHz
1M0   =3D 1MHz

8    IF shift, ASCII Hex Pair, default=3D80, centre.
Range is 00 for to FF

9    AGC state, either 0 for slow, or 1 for fast, default 0, slow.

10   Attenuator state, either 0 for off, or 1 for on, default 0, off.

11   AFC state, either 0 for of, or 1 for on, default 0, off.

12   Noise Blanker state, either 0 for off, or 1 for on, default 0, off.

13   Scan Flag state, either 0 for on, or 1 for off, default off.

Hpoe this is of help

14    Srv text field, default=3D=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D

Text for the Srv or service field.


15    Location text field, default=3D=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D

Text for the Location field.


16    Duplex off set, Decimal number, with or without leading zeros,=20
default=3D=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D, none.

Examples:
              1.6      =3D1.6MHz
              0.6      =3D600kHz

17    Tone squelch, ASCII Hex pair, default=3D00, off.

18    VSC, Voice Squelch, either 0 for off, or 1 for on, default 0, off.

19    DSP, Digital Signal Processor, ASCII Hex pair, default=3D00, off.
