Standard Operating Menu
If the characters are garbled, or nothing is displayed, then it is likely that the computer’s serial port does
not match the radio’s serial port or the proper converters may not be in use. The radio is shipped from
the factory configured at 115200 Baud. This value can be configured differently by the factory upon
customer request. Thus, if the radio is new, the computer settings should be verified with a different
serial port device. If the radio has had settings changed from the factory settings, then you may need to
try different computer baud rates to find the match with the radio.
This screen displays the current configuration of the radio and of importance is the third line with the
Mode (Master/Repeater/Slave) of the radio and the mating radio on the other side of the link and the
device addresses (numbered 8 and 1 in the example) of the two radios making the link. In this example,
the radio is a Slave unit numbered 8 and will link with a master unit numbered 1.
The “0” option will pause the radio RF operation and display the configuration settings menu as below.
The “1” option will cause the values such as temperature and link state to refresh on screen.
The “2” option will reset the Byte, Error and Packet counters to zero.
The “3” option will turn on or off the automatic refreshing of variables currently displayed.
Upon entering the “0” option the following screen is displayed.
