Radio Configuration =================== The setting of the radio configuration data will affect the way in which the codeplug information is presented to on the codeplug options screen. The configuration data falls the categories of; hardware configuration, and software configuration. Hardware Configuration ---------------------- (1) If a '2 channel Radio' is selected, then the programmer will only give you access to channels 1 and 2 of the channel related information. If you change a 2 channel personality to an 8 channel personality, channels 3 to 8 will be overwritten with channel 2 information. The 'Non Standard Channels' option will be set if the programmer reads a radio which has neither 2 nor 8 channels, you are able to select either the 2 channel or 8 channel options for such a radio, however you cannot make a 2 or 8 channel radio Non Standard. (2) The bandsplit information tells you which bandsplit the current personality is set up for. Changing the bandsplit will give the following warning :- "Please realign channel frequencies" "to new bandsplit" This warning will not be enforced, but a check will be made whenever you try to write the codeplug data to radio or disc, or when you try to change the channel frequencies. (3) The radio communications field allows you to specify which commmunications port will be used to interface with the RIB. ie. Communications via COM1 or COM2. Software Configuration ---------------------- (1) The 5 Tone encode/decode options control which 5 tone options will be displayed on the Codeplug options screen. Changing on this field will remove all related options from the codeplug options screen, and will disable relevent options in the current personality as required, eg. changing from 'Encode Only' to 'Decode Only' will cause all encode related options to be removed from the codeplug options screen, and all encode related options in the current personality to be disabled. (2) Selecting the Omit Multicall option will cause all multicall related options to be removed from the Codeplug options list, and all the multicall options will be disabled in the current personality.
