Refresh and Send
• Refresh sends a read request to the radio to provide a configuration update to
the current saved configuration. In situations where a configuration
amendment has caused an unwanted change, clicking Refresh provides a
rollback to the saved configuration.
• Send sends a new configuration to the radio, to be written into the
CompactFlash card. When no changes requiring a Send command have been
made, the flashcard icon within the Send button will be uncolored. When a
change has been made which requires a Send command, to confirm the change
the flashcard icon will first flash yellow three times and then stay yellow until
clicked. When clicked, a Send window with a cancel option is displayed and
will remain open until the send process has been completed.

Circuits option.
