When use Line_in,Should push the MIC selection to “EXT”position;
5) LED:
Red led: DC power indication;
Yellow: Transmit status indication
Blue: Receive signal indication
4. The demo board operation
4.1 The voice intercom
1. Please mount the power, antenna, speaker; Push the MIC select switch to ‘INT’ position;
2. Power on the demo board , the power indication LED(red) turns on, Then rotate the volume adjust switch to a proper position; After about 1seconds, the demo board would voice broadcast the current channel number;
3. Adjust the channel selection switch, ensure the transmitter and receiver are at the same channel;
4. Hold on the [PTT] key, the transmit indication LED(yellow) turns on, You may talk to the opposite side; After finished the talking, release the [PTT] key, the system automatically into the receive statues, When received the signal from the opposite side, The receive indication LED(blue)turns on;
5. At weak signal area, you may hold on the[MON] key, the system into monitor mode, release the [MON]key, the monitor mode is cancelled;
6. The frequency and the CTCSS for every channel can be set alone via the USB interface;
4.2 The sound control(VOX)
1. Push VOX switch to ON position, the VOX function is enabled, You may talk without [PTT]key, the system will automatically into transmit status.;
2. During the VOX valid status,The transmit indication LED(Yellow) turns on;
When VOX enabled, the [PTT] key is still valid;
3. Push VOX switch to OFF position, the VOX function is disabled, you can only intercom by press the [PTT] key;
4. The VOX sensitivity can be set via the USB interface;
4.3 User interface
1. The demo board provide some useful interface for the user
SQ: 0: with valid receive signal; 1: without receive signal;
Line_in: May connect to an external Microphone, or an external audio source;
MIC select switch” must at the “EXT” position;
Line_out:The Frs module audio frequency directly output, Not via the audio amplify;
PTT: 0: Transmit; 1:Receive;
GND: GND;
4.4 Restore to the factory setting
1. Power off;
2. Press the [PTT] and hold on, then Power on; When the transmit indicate LED fast blink, you may release[PTT] key;
3. When finished the system initialization,Transmit indication LED turns off,The system into the standby mode;
4.5 Data transfer/SMS transfer
1. Connect the Demo board USB and the PC usb by MICRO USB cable;
2. Send command:AT+DMOMES=[Length]xxxxxxxxxxx
3. For the detail of the command ,please refer the UART communication protocol;
4. For how to make the data transfer please refer “4.7 USB interface for parameter setting”
4.6 USB interface for parameter setting
1. Firstly, you must install the USB driver,please download from the link:
https://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225&pcid=41
NOTES: The USB 2 COM chip for this demo board is PL2303HX, it can only support the OS to WIN7, if you want support the OS to WIN8, please replace the PL2303HX with PL2303TA;
2. Power on the demo board, Connect the demo board and the PC with the Micro USB cable.
3. PC COM port setting
Serial port;May be COM1,COM2.COM3…. etc.
Baut: 9600 only;
Parity:None
Data:8
stop:1
4. Frs module parameter setting
Here is a example for GROUP COMMAND Setting:
AT+DMOSETGROUP=0,450.0500,450.0500,0,2,0,0
(An “Enter” must be added at the end of the command)
The parameter contents are as below in turn:
0:Narrow
450.0500:Transmit frequency( MHZ)
450.0500:Receive frequency ( MHZ)
0:Receive CTCSS
2:Squelch level
0:Transmit CTCSS
0:Rf output power and etc. :
Comment:
1) The Tx Frequency and Rx Frequency can be set alone.
2) The Tx CTCSS and Rx CTCSS can be set alone.
3) The parameter can’t be kept because of this demo board without MCU.
At the end of the command, a “enter” must be done then click the “send”;
If the command is sent correctly, then the module returns
+DMOSETGROUP:0 to the receive area
The other parameter setting is same as the Group setting, Please refer 《Serial communication protocol》
4) Short message / Data transfer
Prepare 2 sets PC, All the PC must connect the demo board correctly;
Suppose PC1 as the data transfer,and PC2 as the data receiver;
Transfer data by PC1:
a) Input the command with Text format ( Don’t check the “Send as hex”)
AT+DMOMES=7ABCDEFG
(must click “Enter” key once from the keyboard)
Because the SMS length should be Hex, The command should be converted into HEX format, And modify the Length manually.
b) Check the item of serial tool“Send as HEX”
Now the command of text format is converted to HEX format automatically;
41 54 2B 44 4D 4F 4D 45 53 3D 37 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 0D 0A
The “37” Should be modified to be “07” manually , because the Length Byte is Hex;
The right command should be:
41 54 2B 44 4D 4F 4D 45 53 3D 07 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 0D 0A
c) Click “Send”
d) Once the message is sent correctly by module,The module would report the transfer results to PC, that is , the contents as below would be displayed on PC1.
+ DMOMES:0
Receive data by PC2:
Once received a message /data , The receive area would display as below:
a) When not check“Receive as HEX” ,The display contents would be: +DMOMES=*ABCDEFG
b) When check “Receive as HEX” ,The display contents would be:
2B 44 4D 4F 4D 45 53 3D 07 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 0D 0A

7. Comment
1) About the antenna we sent to you
For 1W UHF module, The antenna central frequency is 450M + - 3M;
For 1W VHF module, The antenna central frequency is 150M + - 2M;
The antenna central frequency must be same with the module working frequency, otherwise, it would seriously affect the transmit power and the receive sensitivity;
2) The demo board is subject to be upgraded without notice, the board you get maybe have some difference with the spec.
