Displays the model number of the radio and it's frequency range.
Set the COM port for programming the radio. The programming cable must be connected to the radio with the radio on. The COM port may autoselect to the correct port.

Channel Name: The name of the channel (typically the name of the repeater and talk group). Receive Frequency: The downlink frequency from the repeater to the radio. Transmit Frequency: The uplink frequency from the radio to the repeater. Channel Type: This is the transmitter modulation type:
Transmit Power:
Band Width:
TX Permit:

CH Scan List: First you must create a scan list in Public » Scan List. Those scan lists names will appear in this drop down menu. Choose the scan list you would like this channel to be or leave to None.
APRS Report: Off or On. See APRS for more details.
APRS Report Channel: See APRS for more details.
TX Prohibit: PTT lock-out. Prevents user from accidentally keying on this channel or talk group. Listening channel only.
Talk Around: Check if the TX and RX frequency should be the same. When the TX radio and RX radio both are set up with Talk Around on, they can communicate directly without a repeater. The analog channel will use the RX frequency as TX/RX frequency, the RX CTCSS/DCS decode as TX CTCSS/DCS encode. This still seems like an incomplete and confusing explanation
Work Alone: Check if the “alone” emergency function should be allowed. In Public » Alarm Settings » Work Alone, you have to set up the response time, warn time and response method initially. Turn on the work alone function for the current channel. When the radios predetermined time has been reached for the alone working time, the radio will beep a sound and show “Work Alone Predict”. The user has to confirm by pushing the programmed work alone key to confirm continuing work alone, otherwise, the radio will start its alarm and send the alarm on the channel when reaching its preset response time.
Through Mode: Cannot find any information
CTCSS/DCS Decode: If using analog modulation, choose the downlink tone, if applicable.
CTCSS/DCS Encode: If using analog modulation, choose the uplinktone, if applicable.
