PROGRAMMING (OPTIONAL)
A programming cable is needed to program different channels or
functions on the ZA-711. The programming cable links the radio to USB
port on a PC or laptop.
USB installation:
USB cable driver software for your computer operating system is
available for free downloading from www.zartek.co.za or from the cable
manufacturer website Prolific (driver for PL2303 USB-Serial cable). Install
the correct software (only available from Zartek directly) and plug-in the
cable to the PC. The computer should locate the cable and configure it
automatically. You can check that the cable is working by locating it in
DEVICE MANGER > PORTS > PROLIFIC USB – SERIAL COMM PORT
Software installation:
An ICASA dealer or frequency license is required to purchase or use this
radio. This transceiver will need to be programmed with allocated
frequencies before using. An optional USB programming cable, GE-254,
is available. Email a copy of your valid license info@zartek.co.za to
request a copy of the programming software. Install the software on to a
PC by following the installation steps. Once installation is finished, an icon
called “ZA-711” will appear on the screen.
Connect the USB cable to the PC and plug-in the twin connector into the
speaker/microphone jack on the side of the ZA-711 radio. Ensure that
there is a charged battery connected to the radio and switch the radio on.
Start the program and a window will appear. The software automatically
finds the correct port of the programming cable.
