In all other respects, the CD-2-CAR is exactly like the CD-2. INSTALLING, ADJUSTING AND OPERATING YOUR CD-2 INSTALLATION The CD-2 must be connected to a source of clean 10-15 VDC power and to the receiver. For best results, please use shielded wire for power and receiver connections.

ABOUT the RS-232 SERIAL PORT IBM Compatible Personal Computers use either DB-9 or DB-25 serial COM ports. The DB-9 is more commonly used in recent years, therefore we have provided a DB-9 to RJ-11 adapter along with a seven foot, six wire phone cord. If your computer uses a DB-25 connector, you must obtain a DB-9 male to DB-25 female adapter from your favorite computer store.

English the programming information as down loaded from the panel. In order to make use of these screens, you will need to download the information to the CD-2 while the CD-2P program is running. It is suggested that the TP-154 or the TP-154PLUS be placed into programming mode by transmitting the access code without CTCSS or DCS encoding.

Also, be sure the pre-amp level in the CD-2 is adjusted properly using TP-1 (as described in the manual pages 3 and 4) or using the internal LED sensor. My CD-2 decodes CTCSS and DCS but not all DTMF digits.

I accidentally quit CD2P but now I need that data back! Run CD2P/U. This reads a log file (CD2P.LOG) which allows CD2P to start from where it left off. Obviously, any data sent while the program was not running will be lost. Much or all of the data may be lost if the computer crashes or you turn off power while CD2P is running.

It is not required to understand this format if using the CD-2P application. The output of the CD-2 is a very simple, easy to read format, which may be observed by any terminal emulator program or by making a proper connection to an ordinary terminal.
