SP3300 Programming Guide

1 Introduction

This programming guide concerns the programming of the SP3300 Portable GMDSS
VHF radio.
The audience is intended to be Thrane & Thrane authorized service-personnel having
received proper training. Basically, the program is self-explanatory. Please read the
messages on the PC display carefully.
It is important to understand, that this programming utility also covers other models
of radios which are not in the Thrane & Thrane product portfolio right now. Therefore,
some functions are not allowed (no reaction on changes made).

• Programming kit including BNC antenna adaptor and programming cable,
(part no. 739920)

• PC fitted with a COM-port, MS Windows XP

downloaded from the Thrane & Thrane extranet.

•

3 Installation and Usage of Software

Create and name a directory on the C-drive, for example “SP3300”. Copy the files from
the CD-ROM into that directory.
Run the program by executing the file:

SP3300.exe

The functions and options will be described later in this programming guide.
