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

With the LXN-NOTE 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 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.

Common

Use this screen to customize many set menu features of the radio. Check boxes toggle features on or off, use drop down menus list all selections and blank boxes for personalized entry add to the ease of setting up your radio exactly like you want it.

The entries on the Settings screens are made for you to "Set and Forget". Once settings are customized, you are prompted to save before exiting. The saved settings will be there every time you create a new frequency file.

RT Systems Programmers interface with four sources of data to make it easy for you to find repeater information. Some of these sources even include information for repeaters outside the US. Your existing subscription to a service (where required) works in the programmer.

• RadioReference Search - This database has commercial and amateur repeaters. A subscription through RadioReference is required to access this data.


• RepeaterBook Search - This database contains domestic and international repeater listings. It is free to use from within the programmer.


• RFinder Web Search - RFinder has both domestic and international repeater listings. RFinder offers the best search abilities with single location or routing options. A subscription through RFinder is required to access this data.


• Frequency Lists – This list is built into the programmer and can be accessed without an internet connection. The list includes common frequencies as those for Weather, GMRS, FRS, Marine Channels, MURS and several others. Entries are easily made into a programming file from the information found in the list.

Radio Reference Search

An internet connection and subscription to the service are required for this search.

Enter the user e-mail and Password that you established when you purchased your subscription from RadioReference Then select the State- Select the state from the list and County- Select the state from the list to get repeaters for that area.

Click OK.

Repeater Book Search

An Internet connection is required for this search.

Location - Enter City, State, Country (if not in the US).

Radius - Enter how many miles (up to 90 maximum) around this location.

Select Bands - This is not terribly important since it can be done on the next screen; however, you might want to limit the selection to reduce the number of repeaters in the results. Uncheck All Bands to make the individual bands active.

Click OK.

RFinder Search

An internet connection and subscription to the service are required for this search.

Enter the User E-mail and Password that you established when you purchased your subscription from RFinder.

Location - Search around a specific city. Enter City, State and Country (if not US). Enter Radius up to 90 miles.

Route - Search along the route of a trip you're planning. Enter the Start and End cities, a width (Remember to limit this since you can't hear repeaters that are too far away), and waypoints (other cities along the way). The search will travel along major interstate highways between the two cities. If the result is not along the route you plan to take, enter other waypoints on your route.

Map Route - Use this option to see the route the search will take. Close the map to return to the search screen.

Click OK.

The information is returned on a screen that is not yet ready for radio programming, this screen lets you examine the data to see if the results are about what you expected. You might find that you spelled the city name wrong which resulted in nothing being returned; or that you want to pull repeaters from further away; or you want to get repeaters for different bands.



Select what the radio uses as the Name display. You can select the Callsign (default), City, State, Region, Repeater Notes or Sponsor. Notice that each of these categories is a column of information in the grid. You will see those names at the top of the screen. You are selecting the information in that column for the Programmer to set up for the Name field. NOTE: The radio will truncate (cut off) the information in the field at the maximum number of characters it can use for the Alpha/numeric display. You might end up with only the first four or six characters of the information in the column. Consider this when selecting the information.

Select what the Programmer will use in the Comment field. This information does not go to the radio but can be very helpful for identifying a channel as you work with it on the spreadsheet. You can print this information along with other details for the channels to have it on hand as you travel. Again, select Callsign, City, State, Region, Repeater Notes or Sponsor.

Sorting Return Data

The screen that opens after you click OK for one of the external data searches gives you the ability to remove repeater information that your radio cannot use. You might have a radio that does not do DMR, DStar or Yaesu Fusion. Simply uncheck these in the list. The channels are removed from the list automatically.

Resulting File

With so few memory channels in this little radio, selectively copy and paste channels from the resulting list to build the file. Click on the number to the left of the channel you want to take all the details. Notice that the Tones and other details are set up automatically in the radio file.

What a list and all you did was enter a location!

Grid Display

• RT Systems now available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.
• Set colors for text (Fore) or background (Back) of alternate rows for easier viewing across the columns.
• Freeze columns to keep information on the screen as you scroll to the right of the page.
• Hide columns you don't use. Customize your printout: hidden columns do not print.
• Use Combo for Check boxes - changes the grid to eliminate check box selections that are disabled on some systems.

Memory Defaults

• Set options to control auto fill information for memory channel entries.

Font

• Set options to control the font in the column headers of the channel entry screens. Select any font and font size available on your computer.

Other

• Set options to control how the programmer handles the global Radio Menu Settings file.
  - 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.
