The Radio Programmer Is for so Much More than Just Memory Management.

With the WCS-R5 Programmer you can begin a new “factory fresh” file into which frequencies and option settings are entered. Or, you can read from the radio, store these details on your computer and make changes. Then, with minimal button pushing, send the new configuration back to the radio.

The Programmer allows you to create and save as many files as you want for your radio. Files can even be shared between users via email or the Internet.

Managing all the options of this great little radio becomes easy with the Programmer. The cut, copy, paste and insert features of the Programmer make channel management easier than ever.

Open more than one file at a time. Memory channel information can be copied from one file to another within the Programmer making it really easy to set up a new file.

Limit Memories

Limit Memories are used by the radio for Program Scan. Program the same details for Limit Memories as for regular memory channels. Many of the Limit Memories are preprogrammed in the radio and while the frequency can be changed to another within the band, they cannot be left blank.

TV Channels

Available TV channel frequencies depend on the radio’s version. This screen in the Programmer will be populated with those frequencies specific to your radio model once you complete Communications | Get data from radio. Make changes to these channels to suit your area and activities. The Channels can be deleted from the list to remove them from the radio. The Instruction Manual for the radio details these frequencies for all the different models should you need to recreate the list for your radio.

Common

  - Separate (default) handles the global settings of the radio in a “set and forget” fashion. Once you set these up and save the file you won’t have to reset them for a new frequency file.
  - Together as one gives you the ability to create files that are complete with frequencies and customized global settings. In this mode, each file begins with factory defaults for every option of the radio.
• Check “Get data from Radio” new file option to prevent data loss when you read from your radio into the programmer.
• Check “different window” option to make the programmer for a different radio run in completely separate window rather than in a separate tab of the same window.
