The programming process begins by first installing the program then installing (and allowing) the drivers for the cable. Be sure to complete both of these steps.Save your file as you work. This is a computer, after all, and you would hate to lose your work should the system fail. Actually, create and save as many files as you want or need. You could have one file for home, a different one for the vacation house, another for the trip to your son’s house, another for the yearly 3K run and picnic where you help direct traffic and want the radio to be programmed with only the frequencies for that event. Remember, radio programming is an overwrite process. Everything in the radio is replaced by everything in the file. |

Skip Memories These frequencies are skipped during VFO scanning. These channels can be used for additional regular memory storage if you don't use VFO scanning. |
 |
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. |
 |
VFO The program makes available the same VFOs as in the radio (usually one per band). Remember these are not real memory channels since the details are lost as soon as you tune the radio manually. There is no one button recall for these. You do not need to program into VFO before programming details into a memory channel. These channels are preprogrammed in the radio and while the frequency can be changed to another within the band, they cannot be left blank. |
 |
Marine Pre-programmed in the receiver, the Marine Memories cannot be changed. Receive frequency, Transmit frequency and Offset direction are disabled to prevent editing. These channels can be included with other memories in Banks 1 - 24 by checking the box for that Bank. |
 |
SW Memories Frequencies for shortwave listening are preprogrammed in the receiver with a name identifier and cannot be changed. Receive frequency and Name are disabled to prevent editing. These channels can be included with other memories in Banks 1-24 by checking the box for that Bank. |
 |
Weather Memories Ten NOAA weather frequencies are preprogrammed in the receiver, and cannot be changed. Use this screen to edit Name, set Skip conditions and add a weather channel to a bank along with other memories. |
