6. PROGRAMMING
This section provides information on front panel programming. Programming can also be accomplished by
creating a personality using a computer with RPM2 installed.
6.1 PROGRAMMING VIA RPM2
Radio Personality Manager (RPM2) is used for radio programming. With RPM2, you can fully program
the radio using the USB programming cable.
Ensure that the radio is turned off before connecting the programming cable. After the
cable is connected, power on the radio.
6.2 EDIT CHANNEL (ANALOG AND P25 CONVENTIONAL ONLY)
Channels can be edited from the Channel Information (CH INFO) menu display. Most of the displayed
channel parameters can be modified here. Channel edits persist across a power cycle. Loading a personality
clears any channel edits. Available parameters vary depending on whether the channel is a P25 or analog
channel.
To edit a channel:
1. From the main display, press to access the CH INFO screen.
2. Press the up or down navigation buttons to scroll through the programmed channel settings.
3. Press the EDIT soft key.
Only authorized users should attempt channel editing.
4. Enter the password programmed via RPM2. You do not have to re-enter the password until you power
cycle the radio.
5. Press the ENTER soft key.
