8 DV MODE OPERATION ■ Low-speed data communication In addition to digital voice communication, low-speed data communication can be made. Use the optional OPC-1529R data communication cable with a third-party serial data communication software. • A USB port can also be used for the low-speed data com- munication, depending on the "USB2/DATA1 Func (^3)" item setting in the Set mode. (p. 164) NOTE: First, turn OFF the "GPS TX Mode" item in the GPS Set mode to send the low-speed data. (p. 134) D L ow-speed data communication application setting Configure the serial data communication software as follows. • Port : T he COM port number which is used by the IC-9100.*1 • Baud rate : 9600/4800 bps*2 • Data : 8 bit • Parity : None • Stop : 1 bit • Flow control : Xon/Xoff D Connection Connect the transceiver to your PC using the optional OPC-1529R cable, as illustrated below. IC-9100 (Rear panel) PC To the [DATA1] jack OPC-1529R (optional) To RS-232C port *1 Depending on the PC environment, the COM port number used by the IC-9100 may be higher than 5. In such case, use the application which can set to higher than 5. *2 Set the baud rate in the "DVdat/GPS Out Baud" item of the Set mode.

(or push [TRANSMIT] on the transceiver) • The MAIN Band TX/RX indicator lights red. • T he input data from the [DATA1] jack are automatically transmitted when "AUTO" is selected in the "DV Data TX" item of the DV Set mode. (p. 118) ■ Packet loss indication While operating voice communication or low-speed data communication through the internet, some packets may be lost due to network error (poor data throughput performance). In such a case, the IC-9100 displays " " on the display to indicate Packet Loss has occurred. 117
