Set the Data

•	Channel Unit Settings

When you run the program, you can see two different interfaces by clicking the Option menu item. The first submenu of Channel Settings and Scan Info is for setting the channels data and scan information; the second submenu of Radio Configuration and DTMF/TTS is for setting the global radio function data and DTMF/TTS (Two-Tone Signaling).

In the main interface, you can see a form of the first 25 channels. There are four groups and each group has 25 channels except for the fourth group. In main interface you can set the channel data. There are 16 columns for each channel. You can set each column with your wanted value. See Channel Units.

In the top of the main interface, you can see two buttons which are named Prev and Next. By clicking either button, the form will be changed to the next group of 25 channels.

•	Model Select

There are six items. This program is for six models of transceiver TC270 and TC370. See the corresponding data.

•	Scan Information

In the main interface you can also set all the data relevant to scan. The value of each item is listed in the Combo Box. See Scan Information.

•	Global Radio Function

Now if you click the submenu item of Radio Configuration and DTMF/TTS under Option menu item, you will see a new interface. In this interface you can set all the radio settings and DTMF/TTS.

The interface will display as follows.

In this frame, you can set all the function data. The value of each item is also listed in the Combo Box. See Global Radio Function.

•	Soft Key Assignment

In this frame, you can set different functions for the six keys on the panel of the radio.

Each key can be set to be any of the eleven functions. See Soft Key Assignment.

Note: You had better not set more one key to be the same function.

The Key 5 and Key 6 must not be programmed.

•	Set DTMF/TTS

There are two frames. One is DTMF and the other is TTS. You can set any data for them.

DTMF

In this frame, you can set all the DTMF data settings. The value each DTMF item is listed in Combo Box except for Connect ID and Disconnect ID. These two items need you to enter the code number when you want. See DTMF Data.

TTS

In this frame, you can set all the tone frequency and tone time for TTS. See TTS Data.

Common Settings of DTMF and TTS

In this frame, you can see two settings: DTMF and TTS.

Return to Main Operation


Write to Radio
Write (Write to the Radio)

Under the menu of Operate(O), choose "Write (W)", or click the "Write " icon of the toolbar, start to write data, the interface will show.

If writing is finished successfully, then show.

If failed, then show.

When the following dialogue pops up, it warns you that the Comm-Port is not correctly connected or your transceiver is not ready.

Return to Main Operation


Embedded Information

This program also provides a function that you can embed any information into your transceiver.

By clicking the submenu Embedded Info under the menu of Embedded Information a dialogue will popup. In this dialogue there is a textbox that you can enter any information that you want to save into the transceiver. Then you can click the submenu Write Embedded Info to write information that you have just set to your transceiver.

If you want to know the information embedded in your connected transceiver, you can click "Read" submenu. Because when you read data from the transceiver, all the data including the embedded information have been read out.

When you write embedded information to the transceiver, a progress bar will show.

While written completely, a dialogue will show to indicate writing completely.
