TRX-Pan V 4.2.0

 

TRX-Pan is a free panadaptator software.

In the 2010s, TRX-Pan has been first conceived to run with a K3 + I/Q adapter such as the LP-Pan and to interface with TRX-Manager. With the help of Larry N8LP, it has been improved and modified to support different configuration such as LP-Bridge and N4PY's CAT Software.

Then (in the 2020s) I modified TRX-Pan to work as a stand alone program with the recent ICOMs in order to diplay the waveform data using the CI-V protocol (works with IC-7800/7850/7610/9700/R8600/7300/705). It supports the most used functions (mode, pre, att... AF/SQ levels...). Of course it can work simultaneously with TRX-Manager.

The final modification was the adaptation to the Elecraft K4 transceiver. TRX-Pan now supports the Elecraft K4 as a stand alone program using its native spectrum data (via Ethernet). It does not require TRX-Manager or any other program. It's essentially a program that displays the spectrum (VFO A and VOA/B's minipan) supplemented by various useful real time functions.

Download full setup : TRX-Pan , Version 4.2.0 (Stand alone setup for Windows 7/8/10/11).

If TRX-Pan V4.1 is already installed on your system, you can simply replace the executable file and the help file in the Programs folder (TRX-Pan420.zip).

If you are running it with TRX-Manager, you need TRX-Manager V6.4.2 or later (TRX-Pan is included in the TRX-Manager patch setup). TRX-Manager is not required with ICOMs and K4.
 

Other software  for Elecraft K4

 

TRX-Pan doesn't allow a complete control of the K4, but thanks to the multiple connections possible via the Ethernet port, it can run in parallel with other control software written for the K4 :

NF7Z Software
K4 Companion
Win4K4Suite
TRX-Manager (discontinued except for registered users)
K4-Control
And, of course, many logging or contesting software.
